HomeActing from under the gun, Chee Hoong Lai of Malaysia opened to 1,100 and saw Jose Drilon of the Philippines call from the button. Blinds got out of the way and the dealer tabled all jacks: J♦ J♣ J♥.
Both checked to bring the turn 3♣ and the Malaysian took a stab at it with 3,000.
That was enough to take down this small pot as Drilon folded but Lai appreciates any win at this point as he has around the average stack with over 23,000.
