Gheba Doubles Against Liu
Chenxiang Miao got the action started with a raise to 300,000 from under the gun.
Xiaohu Liu made the call on the button, and both Daniyal Gheba and Ren Lin called out of the small and big blind, respectively.
All four players checked the 6♦9♠5♥ flop to bring the Q♥ turn.
Gheba led out for 400,000. Lin called, and Miao folded. Liu chose to raise to 1,100,000 in response.
Gheba gave it some thought before he shoved for 3,375,000 total. Lin folded before Liu went into the tank.
Liu asked for a count as he mulled over the decision. After a brief tank, Liu put in the chips to signal a call as he went to a showdown against Gheba with Gheba at risk.
Daniyal Gheba: 6♠5♠
Xiaohu Liu: Q♦8♦
Gheba was ahead with his two pair, but Liu had outs to a straight or could sink Gheba's two pair by hitting either of his whole cards.
None of them came when the 2♠ appeared on the river to award Gheba the pot and put a dent in Liu.
