Small Bet Won't Work, Hunichen Joins the Field

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With roughly 13,000 in the middle, big blind David McGowan led out for 4,000 on the river of a Q4JJ8 board, and the action was on Linglin Zeng.

Zeng responded with a raise to 35,000, which, after some thought, was enough for McGowan to remove himself from the equation, as he folded.

On the neighbouring table, Chris Hunichen joined the field.
