Peng Spikes River to Bust Ates
Level 18
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Orhan Ates open-raised from middle position and Mengdian Peng three-bet to 250,000 from late position. Ates had a think and then made the call.
The flop came J♣J♥6♦ and Ates checked. Peng made it 175,000 to go and Ates moved all in for over 600,000. Peng made the call and players showed their cards.
Orhan Ates: Q♦Q♣
Mengdian Peng: A♥K♥
Ates was ahead with his two pair, queens and jacks. The turn came the 4♥ to give Peng outs to a flush. The K♠ river gave Peng a higher two pair to win the pot, putting him among the chip leaders, while Ates was sent to the rail.
