Ding's Late Arrival Works Well for Him
Level 16
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Biao Ding arrived late to the day, but was involved in one of the very first hands he was dealt. Ding started with a min-raise to 32,000 from the hijack, and only Timo Vogt called out of the big lind.
Vogt knuckled the action over to Ding on the 7♦7♣4♠ flop, and Ding put out a continuation-bet of 25,000. Vogt stuck around with a call.
Vogt and Ding checked the 10♠ turn to see the J♠ drop on the river. Vogt checked for the last time, causing Ding to ponder for a while, before overbet-jamming for roughly 170,000. Vogt snap-folded, and Ding dragged in the pot.
