It has been a very productive start to the day for Kevin Huang, who has exceeded the 100,000 mark already. He recently won a pot in a hand against Mikhail Semin and Alex Lee.
With the turn card out and the board reading , Huang bet 1,500 into the pot. Lee three-bet to 3,700 and Semin passed. When Huang called, the dealer put a on the turn. Huang check-called Lee's 5,500 barrel and Lee immediately sent his cards into the muck. Huang didn't want to show either despite Semin encouraging him to do so "just for fun". There's a lot of friendly chatter coming from Table 17, who seem to be enjoying themselves whether or not they get to see Huang's cards.

Serhii Holodiuk was down in chips until he recently scooped a nice pot. A player opened to 600 under the gun and Holodiuk three-bet to 1,200 on his direct left. The player in the big blind came along and the initial raiser did too.
On the flop, Holodiuk continued for 3,000 when the action came to him. One player called and one folded. The turn was the and Holodiuk bet 7,000 this time, which his opponent check-called.
The last card out was the and after another check, he put 8,000 over the line. This last bet proved too much for his opponent and when he folded, Holodiuk showed pocket .
