: Blinds 1,300,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante
With half the number of chips compared to his opponent, Qiang Xu limped from the button, but Jason Johnson raised him to 5,500,000 from the big blind.
Xu called the raise, and he called again when Johnson continued to 8,000,000 on the flop 7♣3♣K♠.
On the turn Q♠, Johnson checked. Xu took this opportunity to bet 13,500,000. In response, Johnson went all in and Xu snap called.
Qiang Xu: K♣6♣
Jason Johnson: Q♣9♥
With a top pair and a flush draw, Xu was ahead and remained ahead after the river 4♦. Thanks to his double up, Xu is now in the lead with more than 100,000,000 chips.
