Liu Cripple Ma
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
It's getting to that time when a great deal of the field's fate is decided by a coin flip and for Quan Gang Ma this has not worked out quite as planned.
Ma and neighbor Tianyou Liu got into it pre-flop and all the chips ended up in the middle with Ma's 
racing against Liu's 
.
Liu took the lead immediately on the 
flop, improving to two pair on the 
turn with the 
river completing the hand and giving Liu the pot; he climbed to 230,000 and Ma was left with just a paltry 6,000 so will have to stage an epic comeback should he wish to make the money, and 28 more players need to bust before that happens so he has his work cut out for him.
