JJ Liu Chipping Up Early

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

We arrived at the table in time to see two pots pushed in the direction of JJ Liu.

On the first pot, the board read {2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Liu tabled {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and was able to scoop a nice pot.

During the second hand, there was a raise from middle position and JJ Liu made the call along with the player in the cutoff and the player in the small blind. The flop fell {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and it checked around to Liu who bet out. The player in the cutoff put in a raise, causing the other two players in the hand to fold while Liu made the call. The {9-Spades} turned and Liu check-called the bet of her opponent. When the {Q-Clubs} rivered, the action went check-check and Liu tabled {A-}{9-} and her pair of nines was enough to scoop the pot and cause her opponent to slam his fist on the table and throw out a barrage of profane words.

"Couldn't even give her the ace, it had to be the f***ing nine!" her opponent spoke with fervor. Liu's composure never broke, however, and she quietly scooped her pot.
