Xu Triples Up in the Second Hand of the Day

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante
Gaojie Xu
Gaojie Xu

The action started with Graeme Putt raising to 400 from under the gun plus one. Andrew White then re-raised to 1,400 from the next seat over. Gaojie Xu called from middle position as did Ehsan Amiri from the cutoff. Putt called.

The flop came {k-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{q-Spades} and Putt and White checked. Xu fired out 3,100. Amiri quickly called. Putt and White followed shortly after.

The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} and once again Putt and White checked. Xu slid out 14,000.

"Might be a quick one," announced Amiri, after moving all in for 25,600.

Putt then made the call with 26,900 behind. White got out of the way. Xu snap-called.

Xu: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Amiri: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Putt: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}

Xu had flopped a straight and led against Amiri and Putt who both had big pieces of the board.

The {7-Hearts} on the river would change nothing resulting in Xu tripling up in only the third hand of the day.
