Tao To the Top Early On
Level 1
: 100/200, 0 ante
Picking up the action on the 
turn, Lei Yu checked out of the big blind and called a bet worth 2,000 by Ruihong Tao
on the cutoff. The 
on the river was checked by Yu once more and he paid off a bet worth 10,000 to get shown 
for the queen-high straight to win the first big pot of the day.
One hand later, Tao opened to 500 and Minh Le three-bet to 1,700 on the button, Tao made the call.
The flop came 
and Tao check-called a bet of 1,600. Both checked the 
turn and Tao's bet of 3,600 on the 
river won the pot uncontested.
