Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Winfred Yu and Danny Tang became embroiled in a pre-flop raising war that saw all the chips find their way into the center of the table in one of the biggest pots we have seen so far today.

Pre-flop it was Yu who was the aggressor, opening to 2,000 from early position and finding a caller in small blind Qiang Liu before Tang pumped it up to 8,800 to go.

The action was back on Yu, who tossed out a three-bet to 23,800 in total and Liu hit the think tank but eventually decided he did not wish to become caught in the crossfire and grudgingly folded.

Tang, however, had other plans and slammed down a huge tower of blue 5k chips, effectively putting Yu all-in. Liu thought longer about his fold than Yu did about the call and he quickly moved his last 48,000 into the pot.

Danny Tang:

Yu held the narrowest of narrow leads – 0.6% to be precise – but hit the flop hard when the dealer spread the community cards.

Despite hitting top pair Tang was trailing to Yu’s set of threes and the turn and river saw Yu double to 98,800 while Tang took a big hit and dropped to a little over 70,000.
