And just like that, Aik Chuan has reclaimed the chip lead. Despite Liu Yi’s rise, his moment at the top was very brief. One of the hands that helped Chuan was up against both players and a raised pot brewed preflop. The spread came 5♥ J♠ K♥, action was checked to Chuan on the button and he banged out 50k. He was check-called by both opponents and the turn landed 9♦. Action was check around and the 9♦ river fell. It was checked to Chuan again and he bet 110k. He won with no callers.
Chuan up to 570k.
