Hoang Back Into the Lead

Level 33 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

In a limped pot to the {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Vincent Wan bet 275,000 with the {8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} Ngoc Tai Hoang called with the {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The {k-Spades} followed on the turn and Hoang folded to a bet of 500,000.

Wan raised to 600,000 with the {7-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Hoang called with the {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. On a {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Hoang checked and called a bet worth 450,000 to the {5-Spades} turn. Another check by Hoang resulted in a second barrel of Wan for 1.1 million and that ended the hand right there.

Hoang raised to 600,000 with {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Wan called with {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. They checked the {a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop and the {k-Hearts} turn. Wan took a stab with a bet on the {a-Diamonds} river for 750,000 and Hoang's raise to 2.2 million won the pot.
