Cai Wheels His Way Back Into Contention
Level 35
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
Zhen Cai raised to 300,000 on the button before William Leffingwell three-bet to 1,000,000 out of the small blind. Cai called as they went heads-up to the 4♠3♥9♣ flop.
Leffingwell now slid forward 2,000,000, Cai moved all in for 2,800,000, and Leffingwell called.
Zhen Cai: A♦J♣5♠2♠
William Leffingwell: A♥K♣4♦2♥
"We need high cards. Two kings," Leffingwell shouted to his rail, and he got one of them on the K♠ turn.
The river, though, came the A♣. "Wheel," Cai shouted as he jumped out of his seat after making a straight to win the pot and double up.
