Rania Nasreddine led out for 50,000 from the big blind on a board of J♠7♣5♣4♦ and Jianwei Lin called under the gun.

The river was the 2♥ and Nasreddine bet another 155,000. Lin again called and Nasreddine showed J♣4♠ for two pair. Lin flashed A♥J♥ as he mucked.

"Fours are lucky for me," Nasreddine said.

"No gift for you," Lin told her.

"You said you were going to give me a gift. You can't take it back now. We're working on US-China relations," Nasreddine replied as the two opponents shared a laugh after the pot.

A flop of 10♠4♥7♣ saw Valverde continue for 35,000, which Chung called.

No more bets were made as both checked the J♦ turn and 10♥ river where Valverde showed K♥3♥ for king-high, then Chung tabled A♦4♦ for a pair of fours which was good for the pot.
