Pesce's Two Pair Frustrate Miao
Level 4
: Blinds 600/1,200, 0 ante
Chenxiang Miao, in the big blind, bet 10,000 into a 22,000 pot and a J♣7♥6♣ flop. Florian Pesce hung on to see the turn.
The dealer peeled a 9♥ turn, and after action passed to him, Pesce bet 14,500, which immediately prompted Miao to go all-in for 170,000. Pesce thought deeply about his next move, knowing that Miao covered him and he could risk his tournament life.
He made the call, leading them to a showdown.
Florian Pesce: J♠9♠
Chenxiang Miao: 9♦4♦
Upon seeing Pesce's two pair, Miao groaned in frustration and picked up chips to match Pesce's stack as the dealer completed the board with a 6♦ river.
