button in SafariXiang and Blanco Win Three-Bet Pots
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Yao Xiang opened to 13,000 in middle position and called when Alan Ferraro made it 36,000 to go in the cutoff. Xiang check-called Ferraro's continuation-bet of 30,000 on the 7♠9♣A♠ flop, after which the 4♠ turn and 2♠ river were checked to showdown.
Xiang tabled K♠K♦ for a rivered flush, and Ferraro mucked his cards in defeat.
Over at another table, Lucas Blanco and Bernhard Binder were playing a three-bet pot worth 105,000. Blanco fired 42,000 from the small blind on the 2♣J♥A♠ flop, and Binder called on the button.
Blanco sized up slightly to 50,000 on the A♦ turn, enough to let Binder release his cards and take down the pot.
