Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jasthi Kumar opened to 65,000 from early position and was called by Feiyue Wu in the hijack and Curtis Kowalk in the small blind.

On the 8♥5♦4♦ flop, the action checked to Wu who bet 80,000 and only Kowalk called.

The turn brought the A♥. Kowalk check-called a bet of 250,000.

On the J♠ river, Wu unloaded the clip with a bet of 700,000. Kowalk would go deep into the tank for around two minutes before he put in the call. Wu tabled 5♥5♣ for a set which was good to drag a huge pot.
