Chunlung Wong limped in from the small blind, and Hun Te Le raised to 4,500. Wong then shoved all in for 46,000 and was snap-called by Le.

Hun Te Le 9 9

Chunlung Wong A Q

The board ran out 2 A 5 Q 3 , pairing with Wong’s ace-queen for two pair against the pocket nines of Le, and Wong scored a double-up.

We picked up on very aggressive action on the turn between Yoshihiko Hirano at big blind and Yita Choong at middle position with a board that showed 7 7 6 T . Hirano check-raised Choong to 21,000 after the latter bet 7,700 into the pot.

Choong looked at Hirano as if trying to read his mind then made the call. The river K got a bet of 20,000 from Hirano. Choong tanked and, shook his head numerous times before finally folding his hand.

It was very evident that it was a very hard fold for Choong and that he was second guessing his decision. The dealer pushed the chips towards Hirano and before Hirano surrendered his cards, he was kind enough to show Choong one card - 7

We are at the last 7 hands before the day ends.
