Full For Liu

Level 5 : 200/500, 500 ante

Not long ago Ruihong Tao had earned a nice pot with pocket jacks and was now shown that very same hand by Ruihong Tao on the river of a board {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Some table chat broke out after Tao had mucked the {9-Diamonds} for trips nines and he remains one of the early chip leaders with more than two times the starting stack.

Two for Xu

Level 5 : 200/500, 500 ante

Following a limp and a raise to 1,400 by the cutoff, Bo Xu in the big blind called and the limper folded to see the {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. No betting action followed and the same also applied for the {2-Clubs} turn.

Xu then bet the {3-Spades} river for 1,500 and picked up a call to roll over the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for ace-ten high, which ended up winning the pot.

He then scooped another three-way pot that was checked on flop and turn, this time a river-bet forced two folds to let Xu drag the pot once more.

Luo Chips Up With Aggression

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Huidong Gu and Jieming Xu have re-entered and the latter was able to pull a profit already. Some of that vanished when he faced a raaise to 1,200 and a cold-call as Xu opted to raise to 3,100 in the cutoff. Xixiang Luo in the small blind had other plans and squeezed to 8,000 in order to force folds all around.
