Kai Hsu Falls At Fourth Place
Kai Hsu - 4th PlaceTMT Championship 2024 HighRoller (Event #H1)
Once again, Chia Huang applied the strategy of using the monster million stack to apply pressure on the small-stacked blinds by pushing all-in from the button. A desperate Kia Hsu made the call for the last of his 170,000 from the big blind.
Kai Hsu looked dominating pre-flop, but Huang paired a four on the flop and maintained the lead to bust Hsu at fourth place. Kai Hsu bagged 4th - NT$ 218,000 (~US$ 6,800) for the final four finish.

Kai Hsu Doubles Up In Blinds Battle
Kai HsuTMT Championship 2024 HighRoller (Event #H1)
Action folded around the table to create an el clasico Battle of the Blinds. Both blinds were short-stacked and desperate. Small blind Chih Fang made the move with a shove for 335,000, hoping to pillage blinds with a fold from the big blind. However, the more short-stacked Kai Hsu did not back down and risked his remaining 220,000 chips.
Hsu was at a dominate advantage from the beginning, and when both Fang and Hsu hit the 7 on the river, the king kicker of Hsu ensured that the pot be shipped his way. Kai Hsu doubled up to have more breathing room while Chih Fang's stack was left in critical condition.

Kai HsuTMT Championship 2024 High Roller (Event #H1)
With action folded around to create a battle of the blinds, Kai Hsu shoved his remaining 260,000 chips with Zhi Wang defending the big blind with a call.
Things were looking gloomy for Kai Hsu all the way up to the turn, but the poker gods were kind enough to shine a nine on the river to send the pot Hsu's way for a much-needed double-up, and adding a dent to Zhi Wang's stack.
