Almost a Massive Pot

On the {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, Xing Zhou checked, and Seungsoo Jeon bet 8,500. Zhou made the call, and the dealer placed the {J-Spades} out on the turn. Both players checked.

The river was the {7-Spades}, and Zhou bet 23,000. Jeon put in a raise to 85,000, then Zhou came back with a big shove for approximately 370,000. Jeon had a little over 300,000 behind, but eventually gave it up.

Kan's Not Holding Back

Ping Lin just raised to 5,100 preflop and Raiden Kan called from the small blind. The flop came down {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Kan checked. Lin fired out 6,500 and Kan replied by check-raising to 14,000. Lin double-checked his cards and tossed them into the muck.

On the very next hand there was a raising war we caught the Henry Wang put in 35,100. Kan was seated on the button and put in another raise to 80,000. Wang tanked for quite some time before releasing his hand.

There are still 31 players remaining in the tournament and Kan is looking to add more chips to his stack with the bubble slowly approaching.
