River for Thao
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Level 15: 4,000/8,000
Xiong Thao jammed for 75,000 from middle position and was called by Randy Gil in the big blind to put Thao at risk for his tournament.
Xiong Thao: A♥Q♣
Randy Gil: 7♣7♥
Thao needed to hit one of his overcards to survive, but the flop did not bring any solace as it came 4♠10♥4♦.
Thao improved his equity on the K♣ turn to improve to a straight draw. Gil was poised to secure the knockout, but the A♦ river ruined that plan as Thao earned the double.
