Wu and Obara In the Lead
Yake Wu had already been a big stack with around one million in chips and he sent Guoliang Wei to the rail in a four-bet pot. Wu had three-bet and called the four-bet to see a 
flop. Wei bet and called the shove of Wu with 
for the overpair, he faced the 
of Wu.
On the 
turn, Wu immediately filled up to a flush and needed to dodge another club, which he did with the 
river.
Fireworks also took place one table over. Xiaqing Ji had jammed for 141,000 and Norihiro Otani did so from the cutoff. Jun Obara on the button reshoved for even more than that and Otani immediately knew he was in bad shape. Ji was the shortest stack of the trip and had to crack not one but two pocket pairs to remain in contention.
Xiaqing Ji: 
Norihiro Otani: 
Jun Obara: 
The board came 
and Ji indeed improved to a flush on the river to triple up.
