Hong Kong - Pofuk Ying
Hand #1 against the only female player at the table, Pofuk Ying (Hong Kong) took half her stack when his A-A rolled-over her K-9.
Then, against the same player, Pofuk held 2♠4♠ and picked up a gut-shot straight flush draw on the flop.
Flop: A♠ 5♠ 9♥
Turn: 3♠
River: 3♦
She shoved all in for 70,000 and Ying called tabling the Steel Wheel.
First straight flush I've seen today in a sea of quads.
With those two big hands, Ying is up to 333,000 and unofficially is the chip leader in a room of hundreds.
Pofuk said he flew in from China just to stay at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and play in the 2011 Borgata Winter Poker Open.
Ying is hoping East meets West meets Final Table.
