Jiang's Feeling Flush
Xin Jiang has just chipped up after hitting a gin flop for his hand, especially when we found out what his opponent JeHo Lee held.
Lee had opened to 3,500 and was called by Cun Zhang before Jiang defended his big blind. The three went to a flop, and it checked to Lee who continued for 4,000. Zhang got out of the way, but Jiang made the call to see the land on the turn. That slowed down the action with both checking.
The board was completed by the river and now Jiang started putting chips together. He tossed out 8,000, and before they could even land on the felt Lee had snap-called. Jiang turned over for a flopped flush (and straight flush draw), and Lee showed the while mucking his kicker. Had a fourth club hit the board this one would most likely have been deadly for Jiang, but as it played out he's now up to 72,000 while Lee's stack drops a bit to 162,000. He's still up on the day though.
