Zhao put in the call, and called for another 9,000 on turn 8♥ . On river 4♠ , Zhao bet a final 15,000 checked to him, convincing Zhang to surrender.

Xinghui Zhao opened to 700 utg+1 and was met with a 2,000 three bet from Heng Qiao behind. Zhao answered with another raise to 6,200, and convinced Qiao to give it up.

Vying for 4,600 in the middle across flop 6♣ 8♣ 4♥ , Zheng Cai continued for 1,700, check called by Xinghui Zhao on the small blind. Both checked turn 9♣ through to river 7♠ , where Cai fired a final 5,000. Zhao called to showdown, yet mucked as Cai tabled the nut straight J♦ T♥ .
