Cai Doubles Through Gierse
Level 8
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Yuzhu Wang had raised and Marius Gierse three-bet to 45,000 only for Weijue Cai to make it 100,000 to go. Wang folded and Gierse then moved all-in, Cai called after a few seconds of consideration.
Weijue Cai: Q♥Q♠ 
Marius Gierse: A♠K♥
"Pocket nines," Wang said before the showdown proceeded. It was a classic flip in which Cai cemented his lead on the Q♣8♦6♣ flop. The 9♠ turn confirmed his double prior to the 2♣ on the river for 273,000 to cut Gierse's stack into half.
