Wild Preflop Action Taken Down by Guo

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

A small crowd gathered around a table featuring Dong Guo, Winfred Yu, and Joachim Bold.

Guo had opened to 36,000 getting a call from Xuan Tan. Yu then three-bet to 136,000 and action folded around to Bold. Bold also called and then Guo four-bet to 255,000. After a short time in the tank, Yu folded and Bold just flatted, leaving less than 100,000 behind.

Things got confusing for a moment as Guo then dropped a stack of green 25,000 chips in the pot. But Bold had not moved all-in. The dealer issued a flop and Bold checked. Guo left his stack of greens in the middle and Bold tossed his cards to the muck. Much to the shock of the spectators.

Guo has added to his chip lead while Bold is now in the danger zone.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dong Guo	2,600,000 500,000	500,000
Winfred Yu	370,000 130,000	130,000
Joachim Bold	85,000 335,000	335,000
