Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Yixi Tang has turned this heads-up into a match after he picked up a big pot off Alex Foxen.

Foxen limped on the button before Tang checked his option.

The flop came 5♥2♣10♥ before Tang checked. Foxen fired 300,000, but Tang countered with a check-raise to 1,000,000. Foxen made the call.

The 2♥ turn led to a bet of 1,000,000 from Tang and Foxen called.

Tang checked the 4♣ river before Foxen went all in. Tang quickly called.

Foxen showed A♥2♦ for trip deuces, but it was no good as Tang tabled Q♥6♥ for a flush to pull within firing distance of Foxen.
