Ma Snaps Dentan Off

Tim Baker

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Xiaoyao Ma raised from early position, and only Colin Dentan called from the big blind.

Dentan checked the 2♦A♥10♣ flop, and Ma bet 110,000. Dentan quickly called.

Two checks followed the 3♠ turn for the 7♦ to appear on the river. Dentan bet 275,000, which Ma snap-called.

Dentan showed a busted straight draw with K♣J♣. Ma revealed AxXx for top pair to take down the pot.

At another table, Qiang Xu was seen leaving the tournament area and had been eliminated.
