A couple of very interesting hands have just played out to bring us to the close of level 21. In the first, the action started innocuously enough with Liang Yu limping the button and Chung Yuan Yu completing the small blind before Phanlert Sukonthachartnant made it 75,000 to go from the big blind.

There were a couple of raise folds before we had the next big pot and it was a doozy. Pre-flop Liang Yu limped the small blind and Chung Yuan Yu checked in the big blind taking the action heads-up to a

river.
Liang Yu now checked and after thinking it over for a few seconds Chung Yuan Yu reached for chips and bet out a hefty pot-sized 100,000. Yu made the call but could only fold when Chung Yuan Yu rolled over 
for quads. All that action concluded the level.

river saw both players check and Gu rolled over 
for a missed double gutshot straight draw meaning Yu’s 
turn didn’t really change anything and after both blinds check once more Gu took a stab for a rather hefty 100,000 and seemed surprised when Liang Yu made a speedy call. Chung Yuan Yu folded and it was heads-up to the
