Soyza Bombs It
It was Australia��s Bobby Zhang who kicked things off with an under-the-gun open to 9,500 with Malaysia��s Michael Soyza making the call from UTG+1 and Cheng Dong came along for the ride from the big blind to take the action three-way to a rather wet flop.
That��s the sort of board that��s hit someone and all three players cagily checked and the turn saw the board get wetter still. Dong decided to take a stab for 20,000 and Zhang quickly mucked. Soyza however, was going nowhere and slid in the call after thinking things over.
The river paired the board and brought a quick check from Dong, but Soyza took his time over his decision. Eventually, he decided the right about to bet was 102,000 and he slid out a large tower of blue 5,000 chips, with a couple of yellow 1,000 chips on top. Dong shot him a look but through his hand away.
��So you don��t have a king then?�� probed Soyza as he raked in the pot. Dong shook his head in the negative as Soyza stacked up his new chips.
