Xu Suddenly the Short Stack at the Table
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
On a flop of 8?J?10?, Ankit Ahuja checked to Qiang Xu who put in a bet of 200,000. Ahuja thought for a moment before check-raising to 850,000.
Xu tanked for a moment then responded with a raise to 2,000,000. Ahuja went all in for not much more and Xu called to send the two players to a run out.
Ankit Ahuja: Q?Q?
Qiang Xu: A?J?
The turn card was the 9?, giving Ahuja the straight and leaving Xu with only the two remaining queens as outs for a chop pot.
The inconsequential J? fell on the river and with that, Ahuja secured a massive double as Xu moved down to the shortest stack at the table.
