Mao Doubles Through Munteanu
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Renji Mao opened to 5,000 first to act and just behind him, Bogdan Munteanu three-bet to 15,000. Action folded back around to Mao, who counted out his stack before sticking in a call.
Mao check-called a 13,000 bet from Munteanu on the 6♣Q♠7♣ flop and then check-shoved for 56,500 after Munteanu bet 21,000 on the 7♠ turn.
Munteanu tanked for some time, but eventually called to put Mao at risk.
Renji Mao: K♥Q♥
Bogdan Munteanu: A♠8♠
Mao was well ahead with his queen, and the 8♣ river kept Mao best to award him the double up.
