Mao Picks Off the Bluff
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Corey Kempson in middle position and Jiawei Mao in the big blind.
With the board reading A♦6♣J♥2♣, Mao check-called a bet of 750,000, bringing the 6♦ river.
Mao checked again and Kempson fired out a nearly pot-sized bet of 2,200,000.
Mao took some time to think through his decision before making the call. Mao tabled A♣8♠, for two pair, aces and sixes, besting the 5♥4♥ of Kempson.
