Pihela Jr and Liperis Swap Stacks
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Weiran Pu opened to 160,000 on the button and Yiannis Liperis shoved all in from the small blind. Igor Pihela Jr stuck in his stack of 1,185,000 from the big blind and Pu stepped aside.
Igor Pihela Jr: 8?8?
Yiannis Liperis: A?K?
The flop came Q?7?6? and Pihela Jr maintained the lead with neither player holding a heart in their hand. The 7? on the turn and the 9? on the river were also safe as Pihela Jr doubled up.
