Saracoglu Sniffs Out Xu
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Henrik Veldhoen opened to 30,000 from the hijack, and received calls from Atilla Saracoglu in the cutoff and Aiguo Xu in the big blind.
The 10♥7♠2♠ flop and 4♠ turn were checked through to the 2♥ river, where Xu led out with a bet of 80,000. Veldhoen quickly folded, but Saracoglu asked for a count, and on being informed of the amount, quickly made the call.
Xu confidently tabled 8♠8♥ for a pair of eights, but Saracoglu had top pair tens with J♣10♣.
