Liu Smacks the River to Double
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Renmei Liu and Sachin Joshi built a pot of around 20,000 as they went heads-up to the 7♦Q♥4♣ flop. Joshi then bet 7,200 from the big blind and Liu called in middle position.
The turn was the 3♣ and Joshi bet 15,200. Liu snap-shoved for 44,500, and Joshi quickly called.
Liu had A♣Q♣ for top pair and a flush draw, but he needed to improve against Joshi's K♦K♥. The 8♣ river gave him his flush and earned Liu the double up.
Brendon Kaufman is also at this table and sitting on a stack of around 250,000.
