Rockets For Xu
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Scott Seiver raised from under the gun to 12,000 and Nick Palma three-bet to 26,000 from the next seat. Gonzalo Almada was in middle position and cold-four-bet to 60,000. Hang Xu then five-bet from the big blind, which committed him to the pot, and Almada was the only one to put more chips in, which put Xu at risk.
Hang Xu: A♠A♥ 
Gonzalo Almada: A♦K♦
No surprises came on the 3♦5♣3♥9♥4♠ runout, which meant Xu earned himself a double-up.
