Knockout for Qi
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Action started with Niklas Astedt raising to 40,000 from under the gun, and Yaoqing "QIYAOQING" Qi called next to act. Two seats over, "padriew" put in a three bet to 180,000. Astedt folded, but Qi wasn't going anywhere, raising enough to set "padriew" all in.
That bet was called by "padriew" holding 
, and Qi showed 
. The flop of 
hit both players, leaving it a virtual coin flip. However, the 
turn gave Qi a broadway straight. "padriew" needed a queen or jack to fill up and flip the script, but a three came instead.
