Trofimov Raises Big on the River
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Dragos Trofimov and Shundan Xiao built a pot of around 30,000 as they went heads-up to the 9?6?5? flop. Xiao then led out for 5,000 from the small blind, Trofimov raised to 17,000 on the button, and Xiao called.
Both players checked the 10? turn and the J? fell on the river. Xiao then bet 25,000.
Trofimov spent more than a minute pondering the decision before he raised to 90,000. Xiao instantly mucked her cards and Trofimov took the pot.
