Gheba Puts Liu to the Test
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Daniyal Gheba opened to 500,000 on the button, and Xiaohu Liu defended his big blind.
Both players checked the 7♣2♣9♥ flop to bring the 2♥ turn.
Liu led out for 600,000 and was called by Gheba.
The 8♦ river led to a check from Liu. Gheba put out 3,000,000, which was more than enough to put Liu all in, as he had 1,800,000 behind.
Liu gave it some thought, but opted to fold as Gheba took down the pot with his river bet without a showdown.
