Ding First to Hit the Rail
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Action folded to Luigi Soncin on the button, and he raised to 40,000. It then folded to the big blind Biao Ding who three-bet all in for 480,000, and Soncin made the call to put Ding at risk.
Biao Ding: A♠10♣
Luigi Soncin: A♣J♦
Ding was dominated but picked up extra outs on the J♣Q♦9♠ flop, but could not hit after the 4♠ on the turn and 5♠ on the river to be the first elimination of Day 2.
