Nally Puts Liu to the Test
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a heads-up turn of Q♥3♦A♥5♣, Shijia Liu had bet 44,000 after a check from Wesley Nally in the small blind, but then Nally check-jammed to cover Liu.
Liu then went deep into the tank to consider his two options, with his tournament life at risk. After a full minute, he pushed the rest of his stack into the middle to make the call.
Nally then grimaced and flipped over J♥J♦ for just a pair of jacks while Liu proudly tabled A♣10♣ for a pair of aces. The board completed with the 3♥ and Liu scooped the pot for a big double-up while the table praised his call.
