Walton Pushes Off Zhang, Zhou Takes From Leow

Action folded around to Wayne Zhang in the small blind and he raised to 160,000 but was shut down immediately by Austin Walton who moved all-in and Zhang folded.

In the next hand, it was Ivan Leow doing the betting, making it 130,000 to go from the cutoff, with big blind Xiaobo Zhou the only caller. The flop was of the rainbow variety, coming down and both players checked.

First position means first chance to take a stab, and that's what Zhou did on the turn, making it 170,000. There was a bit of back-and-forth banter between Leow and Zhou in Mandarin which resulted in Leow making an impulsive call, which took Zhou back a bit and the river completed the hand.

There was more banter, with Zhou asking Leow if he would bluff at the pot if he (Zhou) checked, with Leow answering in the negative. He was telling the truth as when Zhou checked, Leow checked it right back and the Chinese player won the pot with when Leow mucked.
