Xixiang Luo shoved 349,000 in the small blind and Martin Nikolov immediately called in the big blind.
Xixiang Luo: 
Martin Nikolov: 
With his hands folded like a praying mantis, Luo closed his eyes and awaited his fate.
The flop helped Luo tremendously, as the Chinese found the ace he needed: 
. His Chinese rail let out an audible cheer, but Luo remained dead silent in his seat as he wasn't there yet.
The 
turn and 
river kept Luo in front, and he jumped from his seat with pumped fists to cheer with his rail.
