Liu Doubles Then Misreads

Chad Holloway

Xuan Liu brought it in and then called the raise by Yarron Bendor after the rest of the field had gotten out of the way. Liu then took the lead on the turn and led out, which Bendor called. Again Liu led out on fifth but this time Bendor raised. Liu only had 18k remaining and called off.

Bendor: {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} / {K-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} / {4-Hearts}
Liu: {5-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} / {3-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs} / {8-Clubs}

Liu was behind when the money went in, but sixth street treated her kindly as it delivered trips. Seventh changed nothing and she doubled on the hand.

Not long after, Liu would bring it in for the full 20,000 and was called by Bendor. The latter proceeded to check-call a bet on the turn before leading out on fifth street. Liu not only called that bet but also bets on both sixth and seventh.

Liu: {3-Hearts} {7-Spades} {2-Spades} / {2-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Bendor: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {6-Spades} / {A-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {J-Spades} {9-Spades}

Liu began to pull her chips back and it was clear she was under the impression that she had a low. It was quickly pointed out to her that all she had was a pair of deuces, which meant Bendor scooped the pot. Needless to say, it was a costly mistake by Liu.
