Rong Was Right

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Facing a bet of 6,000 on a {5-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} board with around 15,000 in the middle, Rong Xu made the call. The river was the {j-Diamonds} and Xu's opponent bet 10,000, enough to put Xu all-in.

Xu tanked for just a moment before putting in the remainder of his stack. His opponent turned over {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} and with a sigh of relief, Xu tabled {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}, taking down the pot.
