Xing’s Chips in the Bin
We found it hard to catch Gao Xing in action yesterday but today was a different story. Xing had not long entered but was already causing mischief and we found her involved in a hand against Chen Bin on a flop of with 4,500 in the pot already.
Bin (small blind) had checked the action over to Xing, who fired for 2,500 and Bin quickly pulled the trigger and moved all-in for 10,950 total. Xing had him covered, but not by all that much. However, that did not seem to faze Xing and she tossed in the call and the cards were turned over.
Chen Bin:
Gao Xing:
While both players had a straight draw and Xing held a narrow lead with her ace-high Bin was drawing extremely live and had a club flush draw to go with his open-ender, making him a slight favorite in the hand.
The flush came straight in on the turn to grant Bin the double and he climbed to 26,400 while Xing dropped right down to 1,850 so has her work cut out for her if she wants to improve her leaderboard standing.
