by Tricia David • January 17, 2026 - 9:30 AM

First to act Chih Wei Fan peeked at 2 ♠️ 2 ♦️ then Lavonne Watkins shoved with J ♣️ 8 ♣️ hole cards. Fan called to try to eliminate, but soon as the flop landed 4 ♦️ 10 ♣️ J ♠️, Watkins overtook.  

With the turn 7 ♦️ and river 4 ♣️ keeping Watkins ahead, he survived to continue his bid for the title.
