Liu Yi takes first big pot of the Final 5


After several small pots went to different player’s stacks, a fairly big one came down. The hand saw Liu Yi raise to 12k and Paphawin Laodee called on the big blind. When the spread came A 9 7, Laodee checked to the raiser Yi who sent out 19k. Laodee called. On the 3 turn, action took a break and the river 4 was felted. Taking the helm was Laodee with a 33k bet but then faced an all in from Yi. Laodee folded and Yi earned the first sizable pot of the money round.
