Meng Spikes the River to Double
Level 26
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Qingwei Meng opened to 180,000 from the button and Jimmy Setna called from the big blind.
The flop came 6♠6♥3♠. Setna checked, Meng bet 160,000, Setna check-raised to 600,000 and Meng called.
On the 8♠ turn Setna moved all in, covering Meng who had 1,240,000 behind. Meng called and was at risk.
Qingwei Meng: K♠K♥
Jimmy Setna: 5♠2♠
Setna had cracked Meng's aces with a turned flushand seemed poised to win the tournament until the 9♠ river gave Meng a bigger flush to score the double up and pull close to even with Setna.
