Triple for Leow
A huge pot has recently played out that saw Ivan Leow bag himself a triple up and what a hand it was. China’s Liu Wei was the man to spark the fuse with an early position open to 4,000 and the action folded around to Leow on the button.
The Malaysian was one of the shorter stacks at this point with 29,500 but that did not stop him from firing out a 10,000 raise and the action was on big blind Jin Giang Shi who made the call. With the action back on Wei he reached for chips, but not for calling with and he three-bet to 50,000 in total.
Leow quickly shoved and Shi re-shoved for close to 130,000. Wei did not look happy about it as Shi had him covered, but after some time in the tank he grudgingly folded leaving Shi free to rake in the 20,500 side pot.
Jin Giang Shi: 
Ivan Leow: 
The Chinese player would need this rebate as, despite having the lead when the cards were turned over the 
flop shot Leow right out in front. So shocked was Shi at the flop that he spilt his can of San Miguel all over the table and nearly got beer all over his cards.
While this mess was cleaned up it was back to the action and the 
turn and 
river saw Leow triple to 91,500 while Shi took a hit and dropped down to roughly 100,000.
