Korenev Puts Pressure on Xu

Level 25 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Roman Korenev
Roman Korenev

It folded to small blind Yicheng Xu and he limped. Big blind Roman Korenev still had a decision to make and he raised to 145,000. Korenev seemed unfazed by the fact that he and Xu are both playing big stacks.

Xu thought about it for a minute before he pushed a big tower of green 25,000 chips to the middle. The bet was 530,000 and Korenev was up again. He took his time as well before announcing the words all in. Xu wanted an exact count to see who had the bigger stack and the all-in bet was for 2,930,000 in total.

Xu kept thinking and he was deep in the tank. A couple of seconds turned into minutes and Xu still hadn't made his mind up. He was thinking it through in complete silence, except for the chip riffle of Korenev.

He took another look at his cards and eventually got rid of them, sending the tower of green 25,000 chips to his neighbor.

Daniel Park was very short and he put his last 200,000 in the middle with {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} from the under-the-gun position. It folded all the way around to big blind Francis Anderson but he snap-called when he looked at his cards. Anderson showed {a-Spades}{j-Spades} and Park was in bad shape.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Park was sent to the cashier in 15th place. He did win $21,208 for his deep run in the marathon.
