- folded fifth street
After Lena Wang completed, there was a bit of confusion regarding Yarron Bendor's intention to raise or call the bet based on how he had placed his chips forward and when he had said "raise", as Joseph Thomas had put forward calling chips for the value of the original completion of 30,000 as Bendor had placed his chips.
The floor ruled that his bet would be just a call. Thomas's call stood as well and the trio went to fourth street.
Thomas caught best and bet, sending Wang into a brief tank as she was starting to get short-stacked. Ultimately she decided to continue and called, as did Bendor.
On fifth street, Wang took the betting lead. Bendor folded picking up a jack and Thomas called.
Wang bet sixth street and Thomas called. On seventh street, both players checked.
Wang showed a nine-seven, which pipped Thomas' nine-eight to earn a healthy pot just before break.
