Liu Qiang Stars on Triton Debut, Runs Into Theologis' Quads

A phenomenal Triton debut for Liu Qiang, who has bowed out in 17th place for $40,000 in the $15,000 NLH 8-Handed, outlasting the vast majority of a 206-entry field packed with some of the world's best players.

If it's any consolation for Qiang, there was no bad beat (albeit a nasty runout) behind his exit. He ran into the turned quads of Alex Theologis, who has now taken a commanding lead in the tournament.

The two shared a sporting fist bump as Qiang made his way to the rail, leaving just 16 players in contention. GG's sir.
