Middleton Puts in a Massive River Shove
Level 11
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Xu Hang's table was broken after he busted Nick Eastwood earlier, and he was moved to a new one featuring Tom Middleton.
On one of his first hands at his new table, he and Middleton went to the turn on a board of 4♦5♦J♠3♠ when Middleton bet 25,000 from the hijack.
Hang called under the gun as the 6♥ fell on the river. Hang checked and Middleton moved all in for 104,000.
Hang went into the tank for more than three minutes until he threw his cards into the muck, awarding the pot to Middleton without a showdown.
Recent bustouts include Chin Fernando, WSOP Main Event 10th-place finisher Jose Aguilera, and 888poker Steam Team member Aaron Barone.
