Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Robert Shields bet 20,000 from under the gun on a flop of 6♦5♥2♦ and Zhicheng Miao called in the hijack, as did Alec Wong in the small blind.

The turn was the J♣ and action checked to Miao, who bet 80,000. Wong quickly folded, but Shields called to see the Q♣ river and checked to Miao again. Miao checked back this time and showed A♦4♦ for a missed flush draw, while Shields had 8♣8♥ to win the pot.
