: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Punnat Punsri kicked things off in the cutoff with a raise to 35,000. Ihor Popyk on the button made the call and Chengxu Hu in the small blind moved all in for 100,000.
With the action back on Punsri, he four bet to 165,000, which triggered Popyk to move all in for over 400,000. Punsri quickly released his hand, leaving Hu and Popyk to showdown.
Chengxu Hu: A♦Q♥
Ihor Popyk: A♥K♠
The board ran out clean for Popyk until the turn with 4♦6♥8♦8♠. But the river brought the Q♦, giving Hu two pair and a double up on the bubble.
