Liu's Stack Goes Straight Up
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On a short-handed table to begin with, Runtian Zhang made it 2,000 to go and Xiaohu Liu called on the button. Following the J♠7♦6♠ flop, a single big blind went in both ways and the 8♣ came on the turn. Zhang now bet 5,000 and Liu raised to 15,000 for Zhang to call.
The river brought the 10♣ on which Zhang check-called for another 40,000. Liu revealed 10♠9♦ for the straight and that earned him a nice boost to his stack,.
