Some positional shenanigans went down in a big pot that started multiway and finished heads-up with a great deal of action.

Fresh from a final table appearance in the Main Event of the APPT Manila earlier this month, China's Jingzhi Wang is trying her luck her in Taiwan and kicked off the action with an under-the-gun limp and finding two more callers with the player to her direct left coming along as well as a player in the hijack.

Sitting in the cutoff, Yu Fai Wu must have thought that this was a perfect squeeze spot, making it 2,800 to go. Both blinds folded out and Wang made the call, only to see her neighbor four-bet to 9,200 in total. After the hijack folded Wu tanked for close to a minute before moving all-in for close to 50,000 or so.

Wang folded but the four-bettor made a speedy call, rolling over {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, dominating Wu's {a-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. However, the poker gods are extremely fickle and despite being the underdog in the hand, Wu immediately paired his six on the {4-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, improving to trips by the river with the rest of the runout coming {8-Hearts} and {6-Diamonds}.

Wu's opponent still had chips left after the hand, but not all that many, while Wu stacked up to just over 100,000 after that timely catch.
