Dashan Zhang opened to 16,000 from the hijack only for Motokatsu Uhara to three-bet all-in from the cutoff for 45,000. Action came back to Zhang, who made the call to put Uhara at risk.
Motokatsu Uhara
Motokatsu Uhara: J J
Dashan Zhang: K 9
No sweat at all for Uhara on the T 4 3 flop and the J turn gave him a set but also a gutshot to Zhang. The river bricked out with the 8 and Uhara was shipped the pot for a double up.
David Erquiaga
Two hands later at the same table David Erquiaga opened to 40,000 from the hijack only for Yuhan Wang to three-bet to 90,000, which would effectively put Erquiaga all-in. Action came back to Erquiaga, who made the call for his tournament life.
David Erquiaga: Q Q
Yuhan Wang: 7 7
In contrast to Zhang's hand, Erquiaga had a massive sweat on the 5 4 6 flop, which gave Wang an open-ended straight draw along with the sevens as outs. The K didn't change affairs and when the river was a clean J for Erquiaga, he was sent the pot for a double-up as well.
