Hold'em With Huang

Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang just played two massive pots that took place almost back-to-back. We missed the first one, but Huang was kind enough to explain it after we had written up the second one.

"The same guy limped under the gun," Huang started, as he spoke about Lkhagvaa Dugarbaatar.

Huang opted for a raise to 850 and the player in the small blind called before the action was back on Dugarbaatar. The Mongolian player moved all in for 14,000 chips and Huang tanked for quite a long time before making the call with kings. Huang was in great shape against , but unfortunately for him the board brought out .

Huang lost a big portion of his stack, and then the following hand came up.

Bernard Geoum raised under the gun to 625 and Yves Molin called. Dugarbaatar called from the button and Huang three-bet from the big blind to 1,850. Geoum four-bet to 3,250 and Molin folded quickly. Dugarbaatar called again and Huang quickly moved all in for 9,900.

"Oh man," Geoum sighed, "I just wanted to isolate you."

After a while of going back and forth Geoum folded and Dugarbaatar went into the tank. Finally he called and the showdown went as following.

Huang:
Dugarbaatar:

The board ran out and Huang won this big flip to chip up to well over the starting stack. Meanwhile Dugarbaatar also has plenty of chips to play with, so we could see another big clash between the two.
