Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 0 ante

Renmei Liu shoved all-in from the button for 18,200,000. Marc Wolpert asked the count from the dealer before making the call from the small blind to put Liu at risk.

Renmei Liu: J♣J♠ All in
Marc Wolpert A♥Q♣

The 8♦4♠A♠ flop was great for Wolpert. The Q♥ turn meant only a two-outer on the river could keep Liu alive. Liu was screaming "jack of hearts, jack of hearts!" to the dealer. The dealer complied as the J♥ fell on the river, awarding Liu with the miracle he needed to double up.

Renmei Liu	38,200,000 20,900,000	20,900,000

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 0 ante

Renmei Liu raised from the button to 2,000,000 and Khang Pham made the call. The flop arrived with 5♥10♠7♦ and both players checked.

On the turn 4♠, Pham bet out 2,800,000 and received a call.

The river 7♥ is where it really got heated when Pham bet 6,900,000 and Liu three-bet to 15,000,000 and Pham announced all in with the superior stack effective 13,000,000.

Liu folded and Pham took a massive pot down.

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 0 ante

Khang Pham raised to 2,400,000 out of the small blind. Renmei Liu three-bet to 11,000,000 from the big blind with roughly 8,000,000 behind. Pham four-bet jammed to put Liu all-in and Liu made the call.

Renmei Liu: 8♣8♦ All in
Khang Pham: A♠K♠

The 9♠4♦J♠ flop gave Pham a flush a draw, and when the Q♠ came on the turn, Liu was drawing dead. An inconsequential 6♥ fell on the river, and Liu was the third-place finisher in the tournament.

Pair of Sixes for Wolpert Works

Roxanne Johnson

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 0 ante

Khang Pham limped on the button and Marc Wolpert checked from the big blind. The flop came out with 7♠6♥2♠ and both players checked.

On the turn 4♣ Wolpert bet out 1,100,000 and Pham called.

Both players had a new fancy way of peeking at their cards so that none of the rail can see them, whereby they push their chair back all the way and peek from table level. Very interesting to watch but dangerous if one is in the ring and several drinks have already landed on the ground.

On the river A♣ both players checked cautiously and Wolpert showed Q♠6♣ for the pair of sixes and Pham mucked.
