Vitor Paiva Takes From Tang in Last Hand Before Final Table
Level 23
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Wantao Tang opened his button to 120,000, seeing Vitor Paiva call in the big blind. Tang placed the minimum bet of 60,000 on the J♣9♥A♦ flop, which Paiva check-called.
Paiva check-called again when Tang sized up to a hefty 325,000 on the K♦ turn, after which the players checked the A♣ river to showdown.
Tang showed aces and nines with 10x9x, but Paiva was sitting on a full house with A♠J♠ and raked in the last pot before the nine remaining players converged on the final table.
