Soyza Overtakes Hang, Qien Shoves on Burns

An interesting played out between Michael Soyza and Zhong Yuan Hang the saw Soyza overtake the one-time chip leader, much to Hang’s displeasure.

Pre-flop it was Soyza who was the initial aggressor, making it 110,000 to go from the cutoff. Action folded around to Hang in the big blind and he peeked at his cards and reached for raising chips, making it 350,000 to go.

Soyza thought it over and slid in the call and it was heads-up to the all black flop, which Hang led for 375,000. Soyza called to keep the action heads-up to the turn, which saw both players slow it down and check.

The river completed a flush for both players and the action went check, check once more. Hang turned over for the rivered top set but this was not enough to beat the board, let alone Soyza’s nine high flush – something that Hang was less than pleased about.

Simon Burns tried to get something going the next hand with a late position raise to 110,000 but folded quickly when big blind Huang Qien moved all-in for 725,000.
