Liu Walks as Pak Adds Some Chips

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tian Liu bet 2,800 on a flop of 824 and Edward Pak raised to 12,500. Liu only had around 9,000 total and after a few seconds, put the rest of his chips in.

Tian Liu: J9 All in
Edward Pak: A8

Liu was short and needed to connect with one of his two overcards to stay alive. The Q on the turn did add a gutshot, but the K river was a brick, leaving Liu out the door and allowing Pak to add some extra chips to his stack.
