Swann Picking on Rong
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 8♥Q♦5♦2♥, Nicholas Swann bet 8,000 from the big blind and Shuyi Rong called on the button.
The river was the 7♠ and Swann bet another 28,500. Rong again called, and Swann showed 6♦4♥ for a straight to win the big pot.
A few hands earlier at this table, Swann had called a bet of 27,000 on the river with two queens against Rong, who could only show a bluff as Swann built up his stack close to 200,000.
