Hands #16-22: Wei Doubles Through Pecheux
Hand #16: Guoliang Wei opened to 325,000 in late position and Erwann Pecheux made it 1.25 million from the big blind. After several seconds, Wei moved all in for about 4 million more and Pecheux called to put Wei at risk.
Pecheux: 
Wei: 
The 
flop was safe for Pecheux, but the 
turn was what Wei was looking for. It gave him a bigger pair and a higher flush redraw. The 
river was insignificant and Wei scooped a big double up as the two flip-flopped stacks.
Hand #17: Richard Douglas raised to 325,000 from early position and Francois Tosque defended his big blind. On the 
flop, Tosque check-folded to a bet of 450,000 from Douglas.
Hand #18: Sung Joo Hyun opened to 375,000 from middle position and all his opponents folded.
Hand #19: Pecheux raised the cutoff to 275,000 and Jon Hoellein called in the small blind, as did Douglas in the big blind. The flop came 
and Hoellein checked. Douglas bet 250,000 and Pecheux and Hoellein folded.
Hand #20: Renato Kaneoya limped in early position, Douglas completed in the small blind and Wei checked his option. On the 
flop, Douglas and Wei checked and Kaneoya bet 175,000. Douglas folded, but Wei put in a check-raise to 450,000, and that was enough to get Kaneoya to fold.
Hand #21: Chris Staats raised to 400,000 from early position and took down the blinds and antes.
Hand #22: Kaneoya got a walk in his big blind.
