Si Sucks Out on Tai
We caught the tail end of an interesting hand between China’s Lin Kun Si and Taiwan’s Hsing Hsiung Tai that saw the former give the latter a nasty beat.
Si was the pre-flop aggressor and Tai had defended from the big blind and the flop had come down a monochrome and this is when all the chips went in.
While Si, holding had flopped top pair he was trailing to Tai’s flopped flush and was teetering on the verge of elimination. However, the power of runner, runner cannot be underestimated and the turn improved Si’s hand to two pairs, which improved to a full house with the arrival of the river to gasps of astonishment and cries of disbelief from the rest of the table.
Tai took it all in his stride and counted out the 93,600 in chips to pay Si off, dropping down to 13,500 while Si stacked up to 195,000 after that gift from the poker gods. Tai could not stage a come back and departed shortly afterward.
