Mao Outflops Ivan
Level 10
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
It folded to Alin Ivan on the button, who raised to 21,000. Renji Mao called in the small blind, and Hengtao Zhu defended his big blind.
Ivan continued for 18,000 on the J♣3♣K♠ flop. Mao check-raised to 55,000, forcing Zhu out of the pot. However, Ivan stuck around with a call, and he called as well when Mao moved all in for 183,000 on the 6♠ turn.
Renji Mao: K♥J♠
Alin Ivan: K♣Q♣
Ivan had just three outs against Mao's two pair, but they did not arrive on the 9♦ river, and Mao doubled up.
