Xu Spikes River to Double
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Nicolas Boton opened to 50,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet jam to 365,000 from Mo Xu in the cutoff. Action folded back to Boton, who made the quick call.
Mo Xu: A♦8♦ 
Nicolas Boton: A♠Q♣
Xu needed some help, and things looked bleak after the K♠3♦2♣ flop.
However the 4♦ turn gave Xu outs to the flush, and he got there with a pair of eights on the 8♣ river, much to Boton's disgust.
