Jiang Loosens Up The Table

Claudio Elizalde

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Short-stacked Bruce Jiang went all-in from late position for 720,000. It folded to Peter Thai in the big blind and after looking at the dead money in the middle for a while he asked, "Do I have to double you again?", and made the call.

Bruce Jiang: A?K?
Peter Thai: J?5?

Thai was happy to have two live cards, but ultimately whiffed the board as it ran out 9?8?4?3?2?.

As Jiang finished neatly stacking his chips, he took the moment to introduce himself to the table as a dealer at the Aria. The table then went around and said not only the career that brought them here but also where they travelled from. Unsurprisingly, there were several dealers and representatives from all over the world.

James Urbanic chimed in, "I'm still going to try to take your chips!" to which the table laughed and agreed.

Only a few hands later, Jiang went all-in in a three-way pot and show K?Q? as a bluff.
