Canadian Pro Xuan Liu has been left crippled after receiving a bad beat.
Liu three bet from the button after a raise and call ahead of her. The small blind folded and Didier Guerin tanked before shipping his 150,000 stack into the middle. The two other players got out of the way and Liu made a quick call. Guerin was at risk and dominated with his 
up against the 
of Liu.
The 
flop, however, gave Guerin his three outer and the 
turn and river ensured he would receive the double up. Guerin is now on 350,000 chips whilst Liu is down to 8,000.
