Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Action folded to Sasha Liu who was in the small blind, and she raised to cover Matan Mesika's remaining 24,500 stack. Mesika made a quick call and the pair tabled their hands.
Matan Mesika: A♠8♠
Sasha Liu: A♥2♦
Mesika was ahead, and things stayed that way on the K♣K♠5♣ flop. The Q♥ turn didn't change much either as Mesika's eight still played, but the A♣ river sent the pair to a chop, denying Mesika some value.
