Liang Makes the Right Call to Take Commanding Lead
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Li Liang raised to 350,000 on the button and Giorgi Arveladze called from the big blind.
On the K♣10♣9♦ flop, Arveladze opted to lead for 500,000 and Liang called.
Arveladze immediately shoved on the 5♦ for 5,875,000 effective as the covering stack, over three times the size of the pot, and Liang called after some deliberation to put herself at risk.
Li Liang: A♦10♦
Giorgi Arveladze: 8♥7♦
Liang had second pair and a flush draw against the open-ended straight draw of Arveladze. The river was the 10♥, and Liang doubled into a massive lead.
