Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 0 ante
An Huang
An Huang

The player under-the-gun limped, the cutoff limped and An Huang raised to 4,000 from the button. The player in the big blind called as did the two limpers.

Action checked to Huang on the {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop and he bet 13,000. Only the under-the-gun player called.

The {10-Clubs} came on the turn and Huang's opponent bet enough to put Huang all in for his last 20,000. Huang called and hands were revealed.

An Huang: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Under-the-gun: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}

Huang was ahead, and the {6-Hearts} river kept Huang best with two pair and he dragged the pot.
