Hii Rolls the Dice

Level 21 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

As the players broke to the final two tables, Shiun Wei Hii found himself in trouble on the first hand at his new home. We picked it up on the turn on a board of {3-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} with a big pot already in the middle as Hii checked to Fabian Craib who bet 140,000. Hii clicked it back to 280,000 before Craib announced himself all in.

“Welcome to the table,” chirped Dean Francis as Hii was put under maximum pressure. There was mass confusion with the dealer who struggled to pull in the bet amounts, but eventually it was deemed that Craib covered, so Hii would have to call off his last 317,000 chips to stay in the hand.

After a few minutes of thought and some quick math Hii sighed, “This might be really bad but I call.”

Hii opened {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for the bare flush draw as Craib was well in front with {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a set. The river bricked the {q-Diamonds} to see Hii to the rail as Craib is now up to a massive 1.6 million in chips.
