Cheng Almost Closes the Gap to Tsai
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Junnie Pamplona raised to 325,000 in the small blind and folded when Eric Tsai three-bet to 930,000 out of the big blind.
Tsai limped the next small blind and Chao-Ting Cheng checked his option to the K♣8♣4♥ flop. Tsai bet 100,000 and the call by Cheng followed. Both checked through the 8♦ turn and the 3♥ river completed the board.
Tsai bet 300,000 and Cheng instantly called, getting shown the 10♠2♠ for a bluff by Tsai. Cheng earned the pot with the K♠J♥ to come within three big blinds of his fellow countryman.
