flop, the stacks went in and it was no surprise to see Greenwood quickly put his opponent at risk.

turn and the 
river did just that and the American doubled.
One hand later, Ka Kwan Lau raised to 30,000 and Greenwood reraised the pot to 92,000, which got through.
Short stack Hok Lee also raised the pot on the button soon after and showed kings after all opponents folded.

flop. Geeng also checked, and Lee scooped the pot with a bet worth 42,000, flashing the with the words "I had ace-king with a king-high flushdraw."
