Xu Shows McAulay an Ace; Saliba Gives Up to Nesbitt
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Yixuan Xu bet 5,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 2♠5♣8♦ and Paul McAulay called on the button.
Xu then bet 8,000 on the A♠ turn, and McAulay again called. Both players checked the J♣ river, and Xu showed A♣2♣ for two pair. McAulay claimed he had ace-king as he mucked.
At another table, Allan Nesbitt bet 2,200 from the small blind on a flop of 9♠K♦8♦ and Vivian Saliba called under the gun.
The turn was the K♣ and Nesbitt bet 5,000. Saliba again called, and the 3♥ fell on the river. Nesbitt then bet 8,600, and Saliba folded this time.
Despite dropping that pot, Saliba has already increased her stack to around 170,000.
