Kazuki Okamoto kicked off the hand with a min-raise then called button player Alan King Lun Lau's 180,000 three-bet. 

Lau fired again on the flop K ♦️ 5 ♥️ 5 ♣️ for 100,000 and Okamoto check-called. With the turn 2 ♥️ Okamoto checked again and this time Lau slowed down as well and checked back. 

When the river 10 ♠️ completed the board, Okamoto jumped out with a 400,000 bet sending Lau deep in the think tank. After spending four time-banks, Lau surrendered his hand.
