Tang and Yu Tangle
Two of the High Rollers, Terry Tian Yuan Tang and Chung Yuan Yu are both seated at the same table and we caught the pair of them in action.
Pre-flop it was Tang who kick-started the action with a raise to 525 from early position and he received no respect whatsoever for this with three players making the call in total, including Chung Yuan Yu (hi-jack) and Zhao Jianpeng (cutoff) to take the action four-way to a flop of .
With so many customers Tang chose to check, as did the player in middle position before Chung Yuan Yu decided to take a stab for 1,125 with Tang the only caller.
The hit the turn and now Tang sprang into action and led for 2,500. Yu seemed a little taken aback at this strange turn of events and sat back in his chair to think things over. Eventually, he decided to call and it was off to the river, completing the hand and a possible gutshot straight and a backdoor diamond draw.
Tang could well have been worried about some of these hands and chose to check and Yu checked it right back. Tang turned over for top set and Yu quickly mucked.
