Liang and Alvardo Tangle
A decent-sized pot has recently played out between JC Alvarado and Song Liang that saw the latter win a decent amount of chips – all without showdown.
Alvarado was the initial aggressor, making it 3,500 to go from middle position with Taiwan’s Chung Yuan Yu making the call from the small blind before Liang juiced up the action to 13,000 from the big blind.
With the action back on Alvarado, he decided to see just how serious Liang was with a three-bet to 33,000, prompting Yu to fold and Liang to ask the Mexican how much he was playing – he started the hand with 115,000.
That seemed good enough for Liang, who ripped in the lot and Alvarado folded immediately leaving Liang to rake in 38,300 in bets, blinds and antes – all without a flop being dealt.
