Zhao Gets Three Streets to Leave Laihinen Short
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Xiaowen Zhao opened to 60,000 from the cutoff, and Pasi Laihinen defended from the big blind.
Laihinen check-called a 50,000 bet from Zhao on the 5♥8♦K♥ flop. He then check-called a 100,000 bet on the 2♥ turn, and a 305,000 bet on the A♠ river. Zhao tabled J♥10♥ for a turned flush to take down the sizable pot, leaving Laihinen with about 12 big blinds.
