Liu Loses It All Thanks To Mao's Lucky River

Jianwen Mao can't believe his luck right now, and neither can his table mates.

The hand that resulted in disbelief started with a button open to 10,000 from Mao. The big blind player Jian Liu then three-bet it to 30,000, and Mao just called to see a flop. Liu would make a continuation bet of 20,000, but again Mao didn't budge.

The dealer then burned and turned the and this time Liu slowed down and checked. Mao took the betting lead for 45,000, only for Liu to then move all-in for 130,000. Call.

Mao had flopped best, but Liu had turned trips and was in excellent shape to double up. At least he was, until the river landed. Mao had hit a two-outer and that prompted Liu to get up and go. Mao's stack now counts up as 405,000.
