Action from Secondary Table

Level 3 : 0/0, 2,000 ante

Hand #1: On the turn of {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{Q-Spades}, Chow Hing Yaung was all in for 44,000 with {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds} against Yee Leow Seng's {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. Chow was drawing slim but he got there on the {J-Clubs} river and doubled up.

Hand #2: Ivan Leow and Wai Leong Chan were all in preflop with Leow's {A-Spades}{10-Clubs} trailing Chan's {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The board, however, gave Leow a superior straight as it rolled out {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{7-Hearts}. Leow moved up to 200,000 while Chan was left with just 28,000.

Hand #3: Leow and Chan were all in again with the turn reading {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{A-Spades} and Chan was ahead one more time. He had flopped a set of sixes with {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Leow could only hope to catch an eight for a straight as he held {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The {A-Clubs} river stayed with Chan and he doubled his 83,000.
