Wongwichit and Sau Chop; Soyza Wins from Chao; Ho Shoves on Wongwichit
Phachara Wongwichit opened the action with a raise to 6,500 from the cutoff and Ho Yin Sau moved all-in from the small blind for 32,000 in total. After asking for a count Wongwichit made the call and the cards were turned over.
Ho Yin Sau: 
Phachara Wongwichit: 
Sau was the at-risk player, but being as both he and Wongwichit held the same hand the result was more likely than not to be a chop and that’s exactly what happened when the board ran out 
and the pot was divvied up.
There was a bit of blind and ante stealing for an orbit and then Percy Chao opened the action with a raise to 7,000 on Michael Soyza’s big blind, and the two are two of the bigger stacks so it came as no surprise to see the Malaysian make the call and it was heads-up to a flop of 
.
Soyza checked the action over to Chao, who checked it back and the 
came off on the turn. This brought a bet of 15,000 from Soyza and Chao immediately released his hand.
It was Wongwichit who was the next aggressor, and the Thai player opened to 6,000 from middle position the following hand. Action folded round to Ka Meng Ho who did not take long to move all-in for 52,500 in total.
Wonwichit asked for a count but decided to let this one go leaving Ho free to rake in the pot and pad out his stack a little.
