Australia's Daniel Neilson moves all-in
From the button, Daniel Neilson raised to 120,000 with T♦ 5♣. Chih Wei Fan made the call with T♣ 8♣. Wei was first to act on a board of J♥ 4♥ 9♠. The Taiwanese checked his up-and-down towards Neilson who fired 75,000, Fan quickly called.
The 8♠ turn gave Fan a pair of eights to come with his straight draw, while Neilson now also picked up an up-and-down. Both players checked their option.
On the 8♥ river Fan decided to play it tricky and check his option to Neilson that had around two times pot behind. Neilson only needed a few seconds before announcing all-in and Fan double-checked his cards before tossing in calling chips. Fan's trips were good as both players quickly got up from their chairs to shake hands.
This means Daniel Neilson is our runner-up of the TWD 800,000 Superstar Challenge. Neilson cashed TWD 5,727,000 (~$180,167) for his amazing performance.
