Liu Saved by the Deck
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Qui Nguyen opened the action and got two callers in Nenad Dukic and Xiaohu Liu from the blinds.
On the 10?7?8? flop, Nguyen bet 80,000 Dukic folded, Liu raised to 250,000, and Nguyen shoved all in. Liu had around 350,000 chips remaining and put them into the pot which put him at risk of elimination.
Xiaohu Liu: J?3?
Qui Nguyen: J?J?
Liu needed to find a spade to win the pot or a nine to chop it but the J? turn didn't change anything.
The Chinese player did manage to survive as the 9? hit the river which meant both players were playing the board, much to the dismay of Nguyen.
