In one of the first hands of the day, Yoko Sasaki opened to 60,000 from the hijack and Yuhan Liu three-bet jammed for his remaining 300,000 from the cutoff. Yita Choong called and covered Liu on the button, and Sasaki quickly mucked her hand.

Yuhan Liu: 7 7

Yita Choong: A Q

Liu was ahead, and held on the K 8 J flop. There was a sweat of the straight draw for Choong and the spade flush, but the 2 turn didn't change the standings.

The devestating T river saw the striaght come in for Choong and Liu was the first to leave in the second day of the tournament.
