Hon Cheong Lee open-jammed for 1,350,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Miguel Cardoso in the big blind. He pondered for a while, asking to see stacks of other players at the table, before eventually putting in the calling chips to put Lee at risk.
Hon Cheong Lee: K?10?
Miguel Cardoso: J?9?
Lee paired his king on K?5?A?, but the Q? turn saw a gutshot straight draw appear for Cardoso. However, the 5? river blanked and Lee secured his double-up, while Cardoso was left with just over four big blinds.

Alex Zhang raised to 800,000 from under the gun and the action folded to big blind Michael Liang, who defended.
The flop was dealt 6?J?10? and Liang checked to Zhang, who put out a continuation-bet for 1,200,000. Liang then jammed, covering Zhang's 3,800,000 stack and Zhang made the call.
Alex Zhang: A?A?
Michael Liang: 10?8?
Zhang's aces had a strong lead on the middle pair of Liang, and the J? turn did not change anything about that fact. However, the brutal 10? river saw Liang being the only one to upgrade his two pair to a full house, and he cracked Zhang's pocket aces to eliminate him in eight place.
