The flop of 
gave Derose the lead with a set of nines. The 
turn gave Mu and the button two pair, but the 
river helped no one. The small blind headed to the exit, Derose more than tripled up and a chopped side-pot for Mu and the button.
The very next hand Mu and Derose had their chips in the middle preflop once again, this time Mu was the effective stack for 21,500.
Tianyi Mu: 
John Derose:
The 
flop was pretty safe for Derose, but Mu drilled the 
on the turn for a set. the 
river was no help for Derose and Mu doubled up to get close to parity from the hand previous.
