Chien Hung Chi opened from under the gun and Zi Han Lin called from the small blind. Yuki Kawabata also defended the big blind and the players went three-ways to the flop.

The 7 8 9 flop was checked to the 2 turn and Lin, the biggest stack in the tournament at the time, bet 6,400. This was enough to scare away both players, and Lin added even more to his mountain of a stack.
