Phua Jumps Into the Lead After Taking From Yu

Level 16
: Blinds 0/0, 40,000 ante

Danny Tang limped the A?J? and Chen Ming Kong called with the K?Q?, Winfred Yu checked his option with the 10?8?. The A?J?8? flop was checked and Tang then bet his two pair when the K? followed on the turn. Both opponents folded and Tang claimed the pot uncontested.
Paul Phua then limped the Q?Q? and Jun Wah Yap did so with the J?10?. Yu raised to 380,000 with the A?K? in the cutoff and Phua was the only caller.
The J?9?6? flop was checked by both and the 8? followed on the turn. Phua now bet and Yu folded to surrender the lead.
