Danny Tang limped the A♠J♣ and Chen Ming Kong called with the K♣Q♠, Winfred Yu checked his option with the 10♣8♥. The A♦J♠8♣ flop was checked and Tang then bet his two pair when the K♠ followed on the turn. Both opponents folded and Tang claimed the pot uncontested.
Paul Phua then limped the Q♦Q♣ and Jun Wah Yap did so with the J♦10♣. Yu raised to 380,000 with the A♦K♣ in the cutoff and Phua was the only caller.
The J♣9♠6♣ flop was checked by both and the 8♥ followed on the turn. Phua now bet and Yu folded to surrender the lead.
