HomeChoong Kian Weng is doing his best to distance himself from the rest and with his two recent wins, he has now soared to 1.6m in chips.
On the first hand, he three-bet Kilian Loeffler’s 41k bet to make it 102k to go. Loeffler called. From there, it was obvious that someone was going to win a huge pot. At the 3♥ 7♦ 10♥ flop, Weng continued with a 65k bet and Loeffler matched him up. On the 4♦ turn, both checked. But on the 10♦ river, action picked up with Loeffler taking the reins with a 167k bet. Weng called.
Loeffler 8♦ 8♥
Weng J♠ J♥ higher pocket pair
The next hand Weng was up against Saul Oliver who raised to 40k. Weng answered with a 102k three-bet and got the call. At the flop of 9♣ 8♥ 2♦, Weng led out for 120k and won it with Oliver bowing out of the hand.
