Gao Doubles Through Mak
Level 14
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Wenling Gao and Anthony Mak have clashed in a few pots already today, and while Mak had been getting the best of this previously, Gao took all her chips back with interest when the two tangled in the following hand.
It was Mak the instigator, making it 5,500 from the cutoff, with the small blind making the call, before Gao popped it up to 20,000 from the big blind. Mak slid out a tower of blue 5k chips for a bet of 100,000 to effectively put Gao all-in, and the Chinese player called off her 93,000 stack and the cards went on their backs.
Anthony Mak: 
Wenling Gao: 
Mak had a pair, but so did Gao, and hers was bigger with the 
runout locking in the double and she climbed to 186,000. Mak still has a healthy 155,000 behind.
