Xiacheng On Fumes After Doubling Joyce
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Philip Joyce raised to 120,000 in the hijack, which Chen Xiacheng three-bet to 300,000 in the cutoff. It folded back to Joyce, who moved all in for 1,080,000. Xiacheng put in a quick call, and the cards were tabled.
Philip Joyce: A♣K♦ 
Chen Xiacheng: K♣J♠
"I don't like to see that," Xiacheng stated as the 3♣2♥7♣ flop did not improve him. The K♠ turn was no help to him, and the A♥ river made Joyce two pair to secure the pot.
The stacks were carefully counted, and Xiacheng was left with less than two big blinds after he had paid Joyce.
