Tsai Wins Three-Bet Pot Against Cheng
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jimmy Torres made it 120,000 to go as the first player to act and Eric Tsai called on the button. Chao-Ting Cheng then three-bet to 450,000 in the small blind and Tsai was the only caller. On a Q♦9♠3♥ flop, both players checked and the 8♥ followed on the turn.
Cheng checked again and Tsai bet 275,000 for his fellow countryman to call. Both checked the 9♣ river and Cheng flashed what appeared to be A♠J♣ for a busted straight draw. Tsai won the pot with the 6♦6♥ to pull away from Cheng once again.
