Hsiao Doubles Through Leow
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
With about 45,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of 
, Weikuo Hsiao bet 18,000 from late middle position and Ivan Leow, who was next to act in the hijack, raised to 50,000. Hsiao shoved, Leow called to put him at risk, and the two players tabled their hands.
Hsiao: 
Leow: 
Hsiao was ahead with his overpair but needed to fade an ace or spade since Leow had the nut flush draw. The 
on the turn changed nothing and the 
river gave Hsiao the nut boat to take the pot for the double-up.
