Liu Busts Paterson
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Hao Liu opened to 40,000 in early position and was called by an opponent in middle position, before Gordon Paterson produced a three-bet jam to 155,000 from the big blind.
Liu moved all-in forcing a fold from the other opponent, with Paterson at risk.
Gordon Paterson: A♣A♦
Hao Liu: K♥Q♦
Paterson had woken up with aces and looked in good shape for a double up, but the Q♠5♥6♦ flop brought a sweat with Liu hitting a pair of queens.
The 3♦ turn was a brick, but the K♣ rolled off on the river to give Liu two pair and send Paterson packing.
