Wei Caught by Turchi
Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Guoliang Wei raised to 22,000 from the small blind, and Virgile Turchi called in the big blind. Wei then checked the 9♠8♦7♦ flop over to Turchi, who tossed in a bet of 18,000.
However, Wei had some tricks up his sleeve and raised to 55,000. Turchi quickly called, seeing Wei size up to 80,000 on the 2♥ turn. Turchi matched the bet once more, and the 8♠ was placed on the river.
Wei kept up the aggression; this time he moved his entire stack of 171,000 over the line. After some thought, Turchi tossed in a call.
Wei shook his head and showed K♦J♦ for a missed combo draw, leaving Turchi to take the pot with 10♣9♦.
