MrCleverFox

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

After a couple of limps, including one from Paul Phua, Wai Kin Yong raised, making it 481,000. Next to act was Mikita Badziakouski moved all in for about 380,000. Action folded back to Phua who tanked for a good while before folding.

Wai Kin Yong:
Mikita Badziakouski:

"Oh!" Phua said. "Good fold!"

"What did you have," Badziakouski asked.

"Queen-ten suited," Phua responded.

It was good news for Badziakouski as Yong had less outs, but the board ran out giving Yong a full house anyways and allowing him to scoop another pot to add to his already massive stack.

Badziakouski appears to have used all three bullets up front for a chance to double for more, but now returns to the registration desk to buy in once more.

Siow Choon Tong:
