Haruhiko Shinohara was the first to act and opened to 10,000. Biao Ding responded with a three-bet from the next seat over to 35,000. Henrik Hecklen wanted even more chips in the pot as he opted to four-bet to 60,000. Shinohara folded his hand, but Ding made the call as the pot swelled up preflop.

Ding checked the 7♦7♠5♥ flop before Hecklin continued for 30,000. Ding was undeterred and made the call.

The A♦ turn was checked again by Ding. Hecklin put an even smaller size bet on the turn than he did the flop when he wagered 20,000. Ding stuck around with another call.

Ding opted to lead for 155,000 on the 8♥ river. Hecklin did not think long before he yielded the pot with a fold.
