Liu Folds to Pressure
Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
We caught the embattled Xiaojie Liu in a big hand against an opponent who chose to put her to the test. There was already a little over 15,000 in the pot on the flop with the board reading 
and Liu had just led out for 8,500.
Liu’s opponent, sitting on the button, quickly moved all-in to send Liu deep into the think tank, where she remained as level nine ticked over into level ten. With 29,500 behind and the all-in bet in the region of 55,000 the call would be for Liu’s tournament life.
While Liu looked sorely tempted she eventually chose to let it go and the pot is shipped to her opponent.
