Big Blind Special Gives Xin The Win
![[user357898]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Lee Hon Cheong opened to 800 from under the gun, and when it folded around to the blinds, the small blind called followed by Jin Xin in the big. That took the three to a 
flop, which checked through.
The dealer burned and turned the 
, and now Xin led out for 1,250 when it checked to him. Cheong would make the call, but the small blind player got out of the way before the 
river landed.
Xin fired 3,500 out there and Cheong made a pretty quick call. He'd muck though when Xin turned over 
for a big blind special. Xin had flopped a baby flush and he increases to 34,000 while Cheong dips to 28,200.

Luo Claws Some Back
Level 5
: 150/300, 25 ante
Xixiang Luo is clawing his way back towards a starting stack, having clearly suffered some setbacks in the opening levels.
With a 
flop out there, two players checked to Luo and he bet 800. After a call, there was a raise to 2,000, which Luo then re-popped to 5,800. That got two folds, and moved Luo's stack up to 22,500.

More For Zhelong
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
The last time we saw Jin Zhelong he was cracking pocket aces with his pocket kings. Now he's just made a very nice call to eliminate a player and chip up even further.
The board showed 
and Zhelong had a bet of 1,800 in front of him. His opponent then shoved for 16,925, an d Zhelong spent a while in the tank before eventually making the call. His opponent showed 
for bottom pair and a busted flush draw, and Zhelong took it down with his [aacqs] for top pair to go with the on-board sixes.
Zhelong is up to 76,000 now.
