A couple of very interesting hands have just played out to bring us to the close of level 21. In the first, the action started innocuously enough with Liang Yu limping the button and Chung Yuan Yu completing the small blind before Phanlert Sukonthachartnant made it 75,000 to go from the big blind.
Liang Yu made the call and after thinking it over Chung Yuan Yu decided the pot odds were too good to pass up on and he made the call also.

landed on the turn. First to act, Chung Yuan Yu checked once more and Sukonthachartnant decided to take back the initiative and led out for 65,000 which was enough to take down the pot.
There were a couple of raise folds before we had the next big pot and it was a doozy. Pre-flop Liang Yu limped the small blind and Chung Yuan Yu checked in the big blind taking the action heads-up to a 
flop.
Checks from both players brought in the turn and Liang Yu now decided to lead for 20,000. Chung Yuan Yu rechecked his cards and threw in the call and the dealer peeled off the 
river.
Liang Yu now checked and after thinking it over for a few seconds Chung Yuan Yu reached for chips and bet out a hefty pot-sized 100,000. Yu made the call but could only fold when Chung Yuan Yu rolled over 
for quads. All that action concluded the level.
