Three Off the Bubble
A recent three-way all in has seen two players depart in a flurry of cards and chips with the beneficiary Korea’s Lee Sang Jun who is now sitting pretty on a stack close to 180,000 after his pocket queens held against pocket nines and ace-queen.
Tang Jia was another looking to thin the field with 
and opened the button to 7,000 but found no customers, disgustedly slamming his queens face-up on the flop when both blinds folded out.
We caught Lu Fei involved in a hand against the active Ivan Leow, who called a Fei 7,000 middle position open from the button and the two went heads up to a flop of 
.
That’s a raiser’s flop if ever we have seen one, so it came as something of a surprise when Fei checked the action over to Leow. Needing no further prompting Leow fired for 9,500 and after thinking it over Fei made the call and the 
hit the turn.
This killed the action and it went check, check, before Fei led the 
river for an enticing 5,000 bet. Leow did not find it all that enticing and quickly folded, leaving Fei free to scoop the pot and climb to 65,000, though Leow still had loads with a stack of 142,000.
