Cheng and Tsai Take From Torres
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jimmy Torres raised from under the gun and found a customer in Chao-Ting Cheng in the cutoff,. On a J♠4♦2♥ flop, Torres check-called for 60,000 and did so again for 130,000 on the 10♠ turn and 150,000 on the 3♣ river. Cheng tabled the A♦J♥ for the top pair and top kicker to win the pot.
One hand later, Eric Tsai opened from under the gun and Torres called in the big blind. The 8♥6♣5♥ flop was checked for Torres to lead the 10♣ turn for 150,000. On the Q♥ river, Torres checked once again and that led to a bet worth 275,000 by Tsai.
Torres used two time banks and called, then tapped the table in defeat when he couldn't beat the A♦10♥ of Tsai.
