Aces High

Mads Østerberg raised to 1,000 prefolp, and only Li Chun Liao called from the small blind.

Flop: {j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} - Liao took the reigns, betting 1,150. Østerberg flat called.

Turn: {9-Hearts} - This time, Liao checked, and Østerberg tried to take back control with a bet of 2,300. Liao paid the price to see a river card.

River: {7-Spades} - Liao checked, and Østerberg just checked behind. Unclear whether he was just giving up or if he thought he had showdown value, but he looked extremely surprised when his {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for ace-high was good for the pot. With {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, Liao was left with just queen-high when his open-ended straight draw missed on the river. Come to think of it, Østerberg
