Small Blind Special for Liu
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
After the action folded around, Xiaohu Liu limped in from the small blind, and Rafael Mota checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came 4♥A♠3♣, and Liu led out with a small bet of 100,000, which the dealer corrected to the minimum 120,000. Mota responded with a raise to 275,000, and Liu made the call.
Both players checked the 10♣ turn, bringing the 4♣ on the river. Liu then fired out a bet of 400,000, and Mota quickly called.
Liu revealed the “small blind special” — 7♣4♦ for trip fours — and Mota mucked his hand as Liu dragged in a healthy pot.
