No Showdown Needed for Meng

A player in middle position limped as did Dong Meng in the small blind. The big blind checked his option to bring out a K♦8♦A♦ flop. Meng led with a bet of 1,400, getting a quick fold out of the big blind and a call from the player in middle position, taking both players to the 7♦ turn card.

Action checked through on the turn, bringing the K♥ out on the river. Meng led again, this time for 3,100. The player in middle position said, "Big blind special, huh?" before folding the K♣10♣ face up in the middle of the table.

Meng quickly pushed his cards towards the muck and collected the pot without having to prove that he could beat the three kings of his opponent.
