Backdoor Straight for Xiao
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Shundan Xiao raised to 400,000 from under the gun with A♣9♦ and David Jackson called in the big blind with A♥10♦.
The flop came 10♠2♣J♥ and Jackson check-called a bet of 300,000 from Xiao, bringing the 8♦ turn which went check-check.
On the 7♦ river, Jackson led out with a bet of 300,000 and Xiao made it 900,000 to go. Jackson thought for a moment before flicking in the call only to see the bad news that Xiao had rivered a straight.
