Mao Spikes an Ace
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jiawei Mao raised to 100,000 under the gun, Dimitrios Farmakoulis flatted in middle position, and Alexander Greenblatt three-bet to 325,000 in late position. Mao then four-bet shoved for 840,000 to put himself at risk, prompting Farmakoulis to get out of the way and Greenblatt to call.
Jiawei Mao: A♣Q♦ 
Alexander Greenblatt: Q♣Q♠
Mao pulled ahead on the 2♥J♦A♠ flop, pairing his ace. The 9♥ turn and 4♠ river offered no help to Greenblatt and the pot was pushed Mao's way.
