Feng Busts; Liu Doubles

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Huahuan Feng was all in for just 9,400 with the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and had a flip against the {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} of Ye Yuan. The board came {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} and Yuan flopped a set, then rivered a full house for good measure.

Shortly after on another table, the usual Chinese shouting started when they get the stacks in. Yao Bai had Jiajun Liu at risk with {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} versus {q-Spades}{j-Hearts} and the board came {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Hearts} to let Liu double.
