HAND #71  –  Matthieu Lamagnere raises UTG+1 to 325,000, Feng Ji Chua calls from the hijack, and Bien Mai moves all in from the cutoff for 3,350,000. Lamagnere waits for an exact count before he calls.

Action moves to Feng Ji Chua, who stands up to study the situation. Chua uses two Time Chips to tank for more than a minute before he calls all in for about 875,000, and all three players turn over their cards.
