Tian Hits the Flop, Cortes Smacks the Turn to Double
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Luis Cortes moved all in for his last 1,400,000 from the big blind as Mengshi Tian put him at risk in the hijack.
Luis Cortes: K♥K♠
Mengshi Tian: Q♣Q♠
Cortes was on the right side of the cooler and was poised to double up until the flop brought Q♦J♠4♥, giving Tian top set and the lead. The turn, though, was the K♦ and Cortes jumped out of his seat and let out a loud yell in celebration after spiking a set of kings. The river was the A♠ and Tian laughed off the beat, snapping a photo of the board before handing over the pot.
