Ding Drills an Ace to Double
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Biao Ding was all in for his remaining 17,500 or so from the cutoff, with Samuel Ju trying to send him to the rail from the big blind.
Biao Ding: A♦J♥
Samuel Ju: K♠K♣
Ju needed to fade an ace, but that proved too difficult as the A♠8♥8♦ flop catapulted Ding into the lead with top pair.
Neither the 9♦ turn nor 10♠ river helped Ju's cowboys, meaning Ding kept his seat and doubled up.
