Tian Doubles with a Straight Flush

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Several bigger stacks have emerged on the 12 tables in the VIP Room with Victor Chong among those with heaps. Robert Glasspool has re-entered and headed back over there, Tetsuya Enoki also has chunks.

Jin Tian was just all in for the last 18,600 and got it in with a classic race, holding {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} versus {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}. Her opponent was Ryo Kotake, who failed to hit anything and even saw Tian hit a straight flush on the {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Spades}.
