Back and Forth for Huang

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Xinglong Huang reached just one street away from elimination but a river saved him and kept him in the game.

At first, he lost a big part of his stack with {a-Spades}{q-Spades} on a {10-}{5-}{3-} flop with two spades, where he was up against Hao Tian's top pair with ten-nine. The turn and river didn't change everything and Huang was left with just 10 big blinds.

A couple of hands later Huang shoved from the small blind with {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, after Tian's raise from the button, with the latter making the call with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

The board came {6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and the river was a saver for Huang.
