Lok Ching Li

Lok Ching Li jammed the button for around 160,000 and was called by Viet An Nguyen in the big blind, who brought out his phone to record the showdown and cheer loudly for cards that would help.

Lok Ching Li: 7 ♥️ 7 ♠️

Viet An Nguyen: A ♣️ Q ♥️

Nguyen paired his ace on the A ♠️ K ♦️ 10 ♥️ flop and made broadway on the J ♥️ turn, was then seemingly upset when Li spiked the 7 ♦️ river for a set.

Only then the other players pointed out the straight and Nguyen was all smiled.
