Ding Turns the Straight

Level 8 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna raised to 50,000 in the hijack with 74, Ignacio Moron flatted in the small blind with 66, and Biao Ding defended in the big blind with 109.

The flop came Q6J and it checked through to the 8, where Moron led out for 175,000 with his set of sixes. Suvarna folded and Ding called with the straight.

The river fell the 9 and Moron bet 175,000 again, prompting Ding to raise to 450,000. Moron thought for a moment before making the correct fold.
