Xu Hits the Wrong Straight
Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jieming Xu raised to 20,000 from an early position, picking up calls from Maxwell Rosete, Chao Duan and Vladimir Dobrovolskii. The Q♣J♥10♦ flop was checked to Xu and he bet 175,000, only Rosete called. The 7♦ nturn saw Xu move all-in and he was snap-called.
Jieming Xu: 9♠8♥ 
Maxwell Rosete: A♠K♠
Xu's flopped bottom end of the straight was dead as Rosete had nailed broadway to make the Q♦ river a formality.
