Drinan Doubles
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Word reached media row that Connor Drinan doubled up just before the players had a break.
Apparently, Jiaxiu Liu raised to 5,500 and Drinan called from the small blind along with the big blind. The flop fanned 
and Drinan check-raised Liu's c-bet, then bet 25,000 on the 
turn and jammed for around 95,000 on the 
river. Liu tanked for ages on the river, called, and mucked upon seeing the American's 
for top set.
