Meng Adding More

Jeff McMillan

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river with the board reading 7♥9♦Q♥10♦Q♠. Dong Meng bet 40,000 and was called by Benjamin Garrick after a few moments of thought.

Meng tabled the Q♣8♠. Garrick shook his head. "Now I know why you have all the chips" he said to Meng as he saw a large portion of his stack get cut away.
