Andy Tsai opened to 19,000 from early position and was three-bet to 46,000 by Chongwei Liao in the hijack. Shuang Bao called cold on the button and Tsai called as well for an inflated three-way pot.

Tsai checked on the K 8 7 flop and Liao continued for 70,000. Bao got out of the way and Tsai used up a time extension before making the call.

The 3 fell on the turn and Tsai checked again. Liao moved all in for 163,000 total and Tsai quickly called, having Liao slightly covered.

Andy Tsai: K Q

Chongwei Liao: A K

Tsai found himself out-kicked and drawing to three outs against Liao's Big Slick. The 3 river bricked out, however, and Tsai was forced to surrender the majority of his stack over to Liao.
