Belz Continues His Run

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ryan Belz open-shoved all in for 450,000 under the gun and got called by the player to his immediate left, Jiawei Mao. Action folded around, leaving the two players to head to a showdown.

Ryan Belz: Q10 All in
Jiawei Mao: A9

Mao was ahead with ace-high and just needed to keep it this way for a chance to eliminate Belz. The board ran 52103Q with Belz spiking a pair at the river to score a double and continue his tournament run.
