Kerol Holds as Xiong is Eliminated
Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Alex Foster raised from early position to 2,000. Nang Xiong responded with an all-in for 7,800 from early position. Erwin Kerol also jammed for 18,000, and Foster made the call to put both Xiong and Kerol at risk.
Nang Xiong: A♥J♥
Erwin Kerol: Q♦Q♠
Alex Foster: A♣9♣
Kerol had the best of it preflop with his pocket queens, while Xiong and Foster shared some outs to make the situation worse for both of them.
The flop kept Kerol in the lead as it came 9♥3♥8♣, but it did give Foster a pair to increase his outs.
The K♦ turn was of no help to anyone, and the 2♠ river sealed the deal as Kerol scooped the pot and Xiong was eliminated.
