Around 36,000 had made its way into the middle on a board of J♠10♦5♦7♠, in a hand between Niall Farrell in the small blind, Haoliang Han in the big blind, and Ross Haffie on the button.

Farrell led out with a bet of 25,000, which failed to shake off either opponent.

The 2♦ river completed the board, and Farrell went for a blocker-sized bet of 26,000. Only Han called.

Farrell confidently tabled A♦J♥, but Han had rivered two pair J♦2♥.

Haoliang Han – 245,000
Niall Farrell – 163,000
Ross Haffie – 215,000
