With 150,000 chips in the pot on a board of K♦10♦8♥4♥, Bin Weng, Bruno Volkmann, and Kharlin Sued all checked.
A 6♣ fell on the river and Weng fired a bet of 70,000, which got Volkmann to fold. Sued mulled it over and eventually tossed in the call.
Weng tabled J♥10♣ for a pair of tens, and Sued mucked.
The button opened the action with a raise to 40,000 before Yang Zhang three-bet to 130,000 from the small blind. Russell Rosenblum four-bet jammed his 455,000-chip stack into the middle and the button folded. Zhang gave it a thought but ultimately flicked in a chip for a call.
Russell Rosenblum: 9♠9♣
Yang Zhang: A♠10♣
The board ran out Q♣A♥7♠K♥8♥ and Zhang sent Rosenblum to the payout desk while adding to his table leading stack.
