Black Doubles Before Break
Level 13
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On the last hand before the break, the action folded to Taylor Black in the small blind who ripped all in for his last 87,000 chips. Jieming Xu was in the big blind and deliberated for a moment before making the call.
Taylor Black: 10♥9♠
Jieming Xu: 6♥5♥
The flop came A♥10♠6♠ with the six in the window but it was quickly followed by the ten to give Black the better of the two pairs. The K♥ on the turn made things sweaty as Xu picked up a flush draw but the A♠ on the river ensured Black of a double up.
