Lo Sitting High
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Picking up the action on the turn, Wai Kit Lo in the big blind was involved in a hand with a player in the cutoff. With the board reading 7?6?9?K? Lo checked. His opponent bet 60,000 only to see Lo raise to 200,000. After some thought, the cutoff flatted to see a river.
The river came 10? prompting Lo to check. The cutoff player did not immediately check back but eventually chose not to put more chips in the pot. Lo tabled 8?8? for the straight to take down a sizable pot and continue his ascent up the leaderboard.
