Opening hand of the next level saw Liu Yi go up against Aik Chuan. The pot was raised preflop by Chuan with a 25k drop that Yi called on the small blind. At the flop of A♠ A♦ A♣, both players wowed at the spread and Yi checked. Chuan went ahead and continued his aggression with a bet of 11k. Yi wasn’t leaving on that bet and decided to test Chuan with a raise to 22k. Chuan called.
On the Q♥ turn, Chuan laid out another 11k bet and Yi replied with a check-raise to 41k. This was good enough to take the pot. Yi showed his cards K♥ 10♠.
