Hands #5-8: Jose Catela Gets a Shove Through

Hand #5: Charlie Chiu raises to 160,000 in late position. It folds to Jose Catela in the small blind and he lets the 30-second Action Clock all but expire before moving all-in. Chiu asks for an exact count and folds when it is deemed to be for 1,270,000.

Hand #6: Nicolas Ragot opens to 160,000 in the hijack and Feng Ji Chua complains that he is attacking his big blind. “I can’t fold,” Chua adds and calls, then check-folds a flop when Ragot bets 175,000.

Hand #7: Charlie Chiu raises to 160,000 and earns calls from Ragot as well as Bien Mai, the latter of which is in the big blind. On a flop, Mai checks and Chiu continues for 200,000. That is enough to win the pot uncontested.

Hand #8: Matthieu Lamagnere raises to 175,000 and collects the blinds and antes.
