Mao Spikes River to Send Home Linard
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action was folded to Renji Mao in the small blind, who jammed on Louis Linard in the big blind with a covering stack. Linard made the quick call to put himself at risk.
Louis Linard: A♦10♣
Renji Mao: A♠8♠
Linard looked in good shape for a double-up with a dominating ace, and remained so after the 2♣9♥6♣ flop.
The 4♠ turn was also a blank, but the river brought the 8♦ to give Mao a pair of eights and send Linard to the doors.
