Queen is Good For Lian
Level 6
: Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante
Around 45,000 was in the middle as Roman Hrabec, Xiang Lian, and Qiang Xu saw a flop of A♦Q♠6♣. Hrabec then led out for 11,000 from the small blind.
Lian called in early position, but Xu put in a raise to 36,500 in the cutoff. Hrabec folded, while Lian tanked for a minute before calling.
The 10♣ turn was checked through and the A♥ fell on the river. Lian checked again and Xu checked back as Lian showed Q♥J♥ for two pair. Xu mucked and Lian took the pot, adding to his chip-lead contending stack.
