Isaev Damages Miao
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nikolai Isaev opened from early position and Zhicheng Miao defended his big blind.
The flop came Q♥5♥A♦ and Miao check-called a bet of 26,000 from Isaev to the 7♦ turn. Again Miao checked, and again he called a bet after Isaev bet 80,000.
The 8♥ on the river brought in the front door flush draw, and both players quickly tapped the table. Miao showed Q♦3♦ for a pair of queens that missed a flush draw, but that was no good against the A♠K♥ of Isaev, who had top pair.
