Winfred Yu limped the J♠J♣ for Paul Phua to check the J♦7♣. While Phua hit bottom pair on the A♦Q♣7♥ flop, he checked behind and folded the 10♥ turn to a bet of Yu. As small ball poker returned to the heads-up duel, the action has become incredibly limited once more.
Phua was next to limp the J♥10♣ as Yu knuckled the Q♣6♦. The A♥J♦J♣ flop gave Phua trips and he bet them, Yu folded with a sigh.
Winfred Yu limped the Q♦6♦ for Paul Phua to check with the J♥9♦. They checked all the way to the K♥9♣7♣8♠10♣ river on which Phua's bet of 160,000 was check-called by Yu with the bottom end of the straight as Phua continued to chip up with a very small pot.
