Ever since Huu Dung Nguyen lost a big pot to Lim Yohwan, it has been a slow uphill climb for him. He won one pot recently that we reported on. Moments ago, he claimed another to bring him over 100k. On a raised pot preflop, the flop ran 6♠ K♦ 9♦. Sb Huu Yohwan checked, bb Huu checked, button Michael Allen bet 8500. Both called. On the 4♣ turn, no bets landed. The river 8♣, Yohwan slid out 12.5k, Huu all in for 60k, Allen folded, and after deliberating, Yohwan also gave up his stake on the pot.
Linh Tran is slowly chipping up at his table but we seem to always miss the moment. We did catch one decent pot. He raised to 7500 and found three customers to join him to the flop 7♦ 4♦ 8♣. Tran c-bet 14k and won the pot with everyone folding. He is at around 340k.
