Lichtenberger Takes Over Title of Chip Leader
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The pot preflop had reached a mighty 165,000, and the dealer put out a low board, consisting of 7♣2♦5♥.
Both Qiang Xu and Andrew Lichtenberger liked their hands, as Lichtenberger first to act bet 40,000, and Xu raised to 110,000. Undeterred, Lichtenberger put Xu all in for 260,000 effective.
Xu was clearly unhappy with the spot he was in, and took a long time to come to his decision. Eventually, he tabled Q♥Q♣ face up, awarding the pot to Lichtenberger, who stormed into the chip lead.
