In a preflop raising war, Nicholas Wang four-bets to 400,000 only to then face the five-bet shove of Bao Pham for 825,000. Wang asks for a count and sigh-folds.

Pham then three-bets to 150,000 against Motoyoshi Okamura, who calls and check-calls a bet of 110,000 on the flop. They check the turn and Okamura check-folds the river when Pham bets another 320,000.
