Changyang Liu was just involved in a four-bet pot and called a reraise to 4,000 preflop, but he folded the {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop to a bet of 2,700.

Mamiya Takes From Ono

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Ruiko Mamiya has remained very active over on table two and was involved in yet another big pot. With 6,000 in the middle and the completed board showing {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, she faced a bet of 2,700 by Tomomitsu Ono in the big blind and pondered about her decision on the button. After some 30 seconds, she made the call and Ono shook his head, flashed {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a busted straight draw.

Mamiya had that beat with {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and raked in the pot.

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Jun Obara
Jun Obara

Ran Hao Bai called from early position, Kelvin Beattie called in the hijack and Jun Obara bumped it up to 3,100 from the cutoff. Both opponents called and the dealer spread out {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Spades} on the flop.

Bai bet 6,000, Beattie folded and Obara moved all in for around 16,000. Bai called and players turned over their hands. Obara showed {a-Spades}{8-Spades} for the nut flush draw and Bai tabled {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for middle pair.

The {7-Diamonds} came down as a turn card and Obara now picked up a straight draw to go with his flush draw. A {5-Clubs} landed on the river and Obara failed to connect as he was eliminated by Bai's pair of nines.
