Tsugunari Toma raised from the button to 38,000. In the small blind, Hui Xia reraised to 85,000. Vincent Torres, brother of last year's champion Victorino Torres, moved all in from the big blind for 177,000. Toma folded, but Xia made the call.
Xia:
Torres:
The flop, turn and river ran out 
and Torres doubled up.
Vincent is the oldest of the Torres brothers. There's five of them total and four of them came on this trip to Macau. Vincent is the only one left, but still has plenty of hopes in reaching the same spot his brother Victorino did last year, number one.
