Bin Weng opened to 500 from the hijack and was called by the player on the button, Jacob Mitich in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

All four players checked on the {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop and Mitich checked to the player in the big blind on the {k-Hearts} turn, who bet 1,300. Weng then raised to 5,200 and action folded back to the initial bettor, who called.

The {6-Spades} completed the board and the big blind checked to Weng, who bet a hefty 16,300. His opponent folded after a bit of deliberation and Weng dragged the pot.
