Tang Takes the Chip Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
The heads-up match keeps going Yixi Tang's way. This hand began when Tang limped on the button, and Alex Foxen checked.
Foxen bet 300,000 on the 6♦5♥8♣ flop, which led to a call from Tang.
The 6♠ turn did not slow Foxen down, as he bet 1,200,000. Tang stuck around with a call.
Foxen fired a third barrel on the 4♥ river to the tune of 2,800,000. Tang gave it some thought before he flicked in the call.
Foxen showed 9♣2♦ for a missed straight draw. Tang revealed K♥8♥ for two pair to claim the control of the chip lead as the match has turned around in a hurry in Tang's favor.
