Heavy preflop action opened with Shinichiro Kano min-raising from hijack. Three spots over, Gemmy Tu An on the small blind liked what she was dealt and pumped up the betting to 110,000. Big blind Chih Hao Chiang also liked his hand and moved all in for 295,000. 

The action swung back to Kano who pulled out all of his time banks then folded after one was spent. Not the case with Gemmy Tu An who called to put Chiang at risk of elimination. When they flipped them over, both had big pairs with Gemmy Tu An ahead. 

Chih Hao Chiang: Q ♣️ Q ♠️

Gemmy Tu An: K ♦️ K ♥️

With Chiang resting his hopes on a bad beat, the board did not agree as it ran 7 ♥️ J ♥️ 2 ♥️ 4 ♠️ 2 ♣️ to end his run and Gemmy Tu An to scoop a boost.
