Gao Turns Straight
A player opened to 45,000 from early position and was called by a player in late position as well as Shouyi Gao in the big blind.
Gao and the early position player checked following the 
flop and the late position player led out for 50,000. Both of his opponents called to send the action three-handed to the turn.
The 
turn saw Gao take over the betting lead, making it 150,000 to go. That got a quick fold from the early position player but the late position player called off for less to put themselves at risk.
Late Position Player: 
Shouyi Gao: 
Gao had turned the straight to leave his opponent's two pair second best. The 
river failed to improve the at risk player, sending them to the rail while Gao collected a pot that sees him eclipse the 1,000,000 mark.
