Xuan Liu Doubles Up Costantino Russo
Level 26
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Xuan Liu opened up with a bet of 105,000 from the cut-off and Costantino Russo moved all-in from the small blind for 980,000. Massimiliano Manigrasso acted as though he had a big decision in the big blind before handing the dealer his cards and then Liu asked for a count.
It is all a question of ranges and Liu must have thought her was ahead of Russo's shoving range because she made the call. As it turns out Russo was actually stronger than Liu thought he was with .
The turn brought additional outs for Liu but the river failed her and Russo doubled up.
Russo ~ 2,000,000
Liu ~ 940,000
