Ho Bao Qiang may have entered the day as the leader but that also means he is a prime target for nabbing chips. Yoichi Uesugi has already earned some off him, now it was Wally Sombero’s turn.
On a flop of 2♥ 9♣ 3♥, Sombero checked to Qiang who bet 8k. Sombero called. The turn of 4♠ saw Sombero check again, Qiang bet 16.5k, Sombero shoved, and Qiang surrendered his stake on the pot. Sombero shipped in a good pot.
