It Rains on the River
An increasingly active Rain Hu is stacking up well and has just padded out his stack a little more at the expense of tablemates Hongdi Zhao and Liang Peng.
Peng had already noticed Hu��s frisky behaviour and had re-raised him from the blinds on several occasions previously and folded him out, meaning the two have some history already.
Pre-flop Hu was at it again, making it 1,400 to go from the cutoff. Peng snap called the button and while he took slightly longer about it Hongdi Zhao also called from the big blind and the action went three-way to a flop of .
All three players checked and the hit the turn. Zhao checked it over to Hu, who took a stab for 2,400 and Peng eyed him up suspiciously. Peng was probably thinking the same as us �C surely Hu would have bet the flop with a flush draw �C and made the call.
While Zhao looked tempted he decided against it and folded to take the action heads-up to the river. Hu now checked and Peng checked it back, throwing his cards disgustedly into the muck when Hu tabled for a rivered top pair. When it rains it pours��
