Khai Doubles; Liu Rebounds
The first hand began when Eric Liu jammed from the hijack for 833,000 and was called from the button by Kam Khai for 675,000 total.
Kam Khai: A♥Q♥
Eric Liu: A♣9♥
Khai did not wait long to hit their kicker as the flop fanned out 2♠8♥Q♦ to put Khai further in the lead.
The J♦ turn did give Liu some straight outs, but the A♠ river was not one of them as Khai secured the double, and left Liu with 180,000.
Liu didn't sit around to get his chips in the middle. Liu put in a raise of 175,000 and left a single 5,000 chip behind. It folded to Zheyu Weng on the button, who chose to go all-in for 1,010,000. Liu flicked in his final chip, and the two went to a showdown.
Eric Liu: J♣10♣
Zheyu Weng: A♠7♥
Liu was behind, but not for long, as the flop came to the rescue when it fanned out 7♠J♦9♠.
The 9♣ turn did nothing to change the hand, and the 2♣ river awarded Liu an immediate double-up to bounce back from his loss.
