Lim Wins Titanic Tussle With Mao for a Million Chips
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
All of the chips went into the middle preflop with James Lim at risk for 525,000 in the cutoff against Renji Mao in the hijack.
James Lim: K♠K♦
Renji Mao: A♥K♥
Mao was behind with Big Slick as Lim had cowboys. The flop of J♥9♦3♦ was safe for Lim, but the A♦ gave Mao the lead with top pair.
It did, however, produce a flush draw for Lim, which he hit on the river when the 4♦ was tabled to secure a massive double up and Lim is now among the chip leaders.
