Level 25 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Biao Ding
Biao Ding

When the action folded to Biao Ding in the small blind, he raised the pot off his severe short stack. Steven Sarmiento checked his cards and then raised out of the big blind and Ding called all-in for 510,000.

Biao Ding: AK54 All in
Steven Sarmiento: J766

The Q53 flop gave Ding a pair of fives and the 4 turn made it two pair, however, Sarmiento had pulled ahead with the seven-high straight. Ding had a few outs and connected with the 4 river to stay in contention.
