Mao Hits the River Again to Leave Derkowski on Fumes
Level 26
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Grzegorz Derkowski potted the button to 350,000 and Renji Mao called from the big blind.
Upon seeing the dealer fan out the 2♠J♦5♠ flop, Mao jammed for 740,000. Derkowski snap-called with just a few big blinds more than Mao.
Renji Mao: 6♥6♣4♣3♥ 
Grzegorz Derkowski: Q♣Q♦10♠8♥
Derkowski held the overpair against the wrap of Mao. A 9♠ hit the turn before the A♦ fell on the river to give Mao a straight.
Mao doubled to 2,330,000, while Derkowski was left with just 225,000.
