Pang Doubles Xiao
A multi-way limped pot has recently worked out pretty well for Eric Xiao, who has just earned himself a double at the expense of Steven Pang. It all started with a limp from a player in middle position with Bart Luyckx (cutoff), a player in the hi-jack and Pang (button) all making the call, as did the small blind and big blind Eric Xiao.
So the action went six-way to a flop of ![]()
![]()
. The small blind checked Xiao needed no further prompting and bombed the flop for his entire stack – a bet of 6,625 in total. The action folded to Pang on the button and he was the only caller.
Eric Xiao: ![]()
![]()
Steven Pang: ![]()
![]()
Both Xiao and Pang had paired their ten, but Xiao held the lead with the better kicker. The
turn gave both players a straight draw but the
river saw Xiao win the pot and double back to starting stack and Pang drop to 7,000.
