Cormier Flops the Nuts to Bust Xu
Level 4
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With about 80,000 in the pot, on a board reading 
, Jeff Cormier bet 30,000 from late position and Rong Xu moved all-in for 98,000 from the hijack. The player on the button called, and Cormier thought for a brief moment before re-raising to 245,000. The button tanked and claimed to fold 
after mucking his cards.
Xu was at risk with 
for the nut flush draw, but Cormier tabled 
for the nuts. The turn was the 
and the river was the 
, missing Xu's flush draw and sending him to the rail.
