Ma Loses the Minimum
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Xiaoyao Ma raised to 160,000 in the cutoff holding K♣Q♣ and Daniel Rezaei called in the small blind with K♦9♦.
The flop came K♠8♥7♦ and both players checked to the 4♦ turn. Rezaei led out for 325,000 and Ma called, bringing the Q♦ river, which gave Ma top two pair and Rezaei a flush.
Rezaei thought for a moment before sizing down with a bet of 265,000 and Ma made the call.
