Winfred Yu limped from an early position with the A♦J♠ and Paul Phua did so from the cutoff with the 8♠8♥, Chen Ming Kong checked out of the button with the K♠J♦. The A♥Q♥8♣ flop brought a bet worth 250,000 by Yu and Phua with his bottom set used one time bank extension.
Phua then mulled it over for a bit before pushing all-in with a big smile on the face. Kong instantly folded and Yu called.
The 9♥ turn and J♥ river changed nothing as Phua improved to a flush in order to double, putting a dent into chip leader Yu's stack.
