Jeremy Druckman
Jeremy Druckman

There was a back and forth raising match between Chenxiang Miao, who initially opened from middle postion with Jeremy Druckman then raising on the button. Action was haulted when Miao was all in and at risk for their remaining 88,500, with Druckman more than covering him.

Chenxiang Miao: AKJ7All in
Jeremy Druckman: AA97

Miao was looking to improve after seeing Druckman turn over aces. The KA8 flop gave both something to work with as Miao had flopped top two pair and a backdoor flush and striaght draw. Druckman was still ahead as they had improved from pocket aces, to the set.

A K turn also gave Miao trip kings, but he couldn't find any more help on the 8 river and he hit the rail.
