[user250068]

Level 19 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

JJ Liu had her 100,000 big blind in front of her and Quan Zhou, the small blind who was first to act, went all in. Liu wanted an exact count and there was some discussion around the chips in chinese, that we didn't understand. Liu then cut out calling chips and set them to the side. There was some more banter and Liu decided to push her chips into the middle.

Zhou was surprised that Liu made the call and showed his cards to his rail, and everyone started laughing. He then put the cards face up on the table and we saw . Liu turned over .

The flop was a good one for Liu but gave Zhou and open-ended straight flush draw, which caused some excitement to go through the room. Unfortunately for Zhou and fortunately for Liu, the straight flush didn't materialize when the turn came and the river sent all the tournament chips to JJ Liu.
