Chan Picks off Jia
Hong Kong’s Andy Yingkit Chan is one of the more recent arrivals and appears to be setting into the tournament just fine. We caught Chan in action against tablemate Tang Jia with Chan the initial aggressor, making a cheeky under-the-gun min raise.
Surprisingly Chan only found the one caller in Jia, who threw in the extras from the big blind and it was heads-up to a flop of 
.
Jia checked, Chan bet 500 and was quickly called to bring in the 
turn. The wet board got a little wetter and Jia now decided to lead for 500. Chan thought it over for a minute or so and then threw in the call and the dealer peeled off the 
river.
And that was it for the betting in the hand with Jia checking and Chan checking it right back. Jia rolled over 
for a missed gutshot and backdoor diamond draw meaning Chan’s 
ace-high was enough to take down the hand.
