Xu Pieces Together the Puzzle
Level 28
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Hai Kee limped in from early position off a short stack and Anthony Xu checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came A♦5♥3♣ and after Xu checked, Kee shoved 1,700,000 into the pot of around 700,000. Xu had 1,100,000 in his stack and thought long and hard before he called off his stack.
Anthony Xu: 10♥5♦
Hai Kee: K♦J♠
A great call by Xu to figure that one out, and his play was rewarded after the 4♠8♥ runout kept his flopped pair of fives in the lead.
