Top Pair Enough for Jiang
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Ghassan Bitar was on the button and raised to 4,000 once it had folded to him. Big blind Sosia Jiang put in a large three-bet to 30,000, which Bitar had no problem calling.
Jiang continued for 20,000 when the flop fell A♦9♥K♠. Bitar called to the 3♦ turn, which Jiang checked. Bitar took over the initiative with a bet worth 50,000, but Jiang stuck around and called.
The 6♠ river was quickly checked to showdown by the duo. Jiang tabled A♠J♠ for a pair of aces, and it won her the pot when Bitar nodded and mucked.
