Xu Bets Them Out

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

John Lytle opened to 2,700 from late position. Jiandong Xu made the call from the cutoff, and Michael Gagliano defended his big blind.

The 8♠K♥A♣ flop checked through to the J♣ turn. Here, Lytle bet out for 3,200 when checked to. Xu called, and Gagliano folded.

The A♥ river saw Lytle check, then tank-fold to a bet of 12,500 from his opponent.

On other tables, both Allison Stoloff and David Stefanski were eliminated.
