Liu Makes a Comeback
JJ Liu had upped the aggression since making it to the final two tables. After going down to around 120,000 and securing a double up. JJ Liu was scooping the blinds.
She built her stack to around 525,000 and moved all in from under the gun. Action folded around to Michelle Izzi in the small blind who called and the players went heads-up to the board.
JJ Liu: A♥K♠
Michelle Izzi: J♥J♣
Liu wasn't behind for long as the K♦Q♥K♥ flop went her way, as did the A♣ turn and A♠ river.
A few hands later she moved all in again on the button against Stephani Hagberg in the cutoff who had opened to 100,000. Hagberg folded, leaving Liu to stack up even more.
Shortly after, Liu opened to 100,000 from middle position and got a single call from Tanith Rothman in the small blind.
The J♥5♥5♦ flop saw Rothman check-call Liu's 105,000 bet.
The 5♠ was turned and Rothman folded, after Liu bet 250,000, leaving Lui to more than triple her stack after around 15 minute of post break play.
