Truong Falls to Qin Who Seizes Chip Lead
There has been a change at the top of the table, with China's Jianqing Qin ousting Tam Truong to pull ahead of former frontrunner Evaldas Stanevicius, although the latter still has plenty of chips with a stack of 339,000.
It was Qin who was the instigator, making it 6,000 to go from middle position, with Truong making the call from the button.
Qin fired out a chunky 20,000 continuation bet on the flop and after saw time in the think tank Truong slid out the call.
The turn saw another bet from Qin, this one an even larger 49,000 and while Truong's thinking time was a little longer the call was made and the dealer turned over the river.
Qin quickly announced all-in and Truong grudgingly made the call, but could only grimace and muck when Qin turned over for a full house. Truong headed for the exit while Qin stacked up to 360,000.
