From middle position, Wei Zhu opened 25,000 and big blind Tianhua Xie defended for a peek at the flop.

The dealer fanned 4 ♠️ 8 ♣️ 5 ♠️ and both players checked it to the turn where Xie took the reins for 16,000.

Cheap enough for Zhu who called buy the river Q ♣️. Xie returned to checking, Zhu checked back. Xie revealed Q ♥️ 8 ♥️ full house getting no value from Zhu's check.
