Kho Joins; Luo Doubles

Hong Kong's Kitson Kho joined the field while fellow Chinese player Xiaoyang Luo just doubled one table over. It was Stefan Schillhabel that raised the action and made it 7,000 to go. Luo called on the button and Dominik Nitsche in the small blind three-bet to 32,000. Schillhabel folded and Luo moved all in to see Nitsche ask for a count from the other side of the table.

Luo's shove was for 58,500 and Nitsche called.

While the flop gave the four-time WSOP bracelet winner some back door outs to a flush, Nitsche couldn't win the hand anymore as soon as the hit on the turn. That made the river a mere formality and Nitsche dropped below the starting stack.
