River No Friend of Kian's
Xian Tang began the hand with a raise to 900 from early position. It was called by Saeid Kian in the cutoff and Lance Oliver on the button.
Quyen Hoang chose to raise the price of admission with a re-raise to 2,600. Tang, Kian, and Oliver called to send them to a flop.
The flop fanned out J♥Q♣5♠, which led to a couple of checks before Kian bet 3,300. Oliver and Hoang folded, but Tang stuck around with a call.
The 3♠ peeled on the turn, which led to a check from Tang. Kian chose to bet 5,000 before Tang responded with an all-in. Kian quickly called, and the cards were on their backs with Kian at risk.
Saeid Kian: A♥J♦
Xian Tang: J♠10♠
Kian had the best of it with one card left to go, but Tang had plenty of outs with a flush draw and two pair outs to his kicker.
The 4♠ came on the river, much to the dismay of Kian as Tang took down the pot and Kian was eliminated.
