1st 5-Bet
Level 29
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
We've seen a lot of three-betting since we got short-handed, but we're fairly certain that this constitutes the first five-bet. Rupert Elder came out on top.
Max Heinzelmann folded his button and the action moved on to Xuan Liu in the small blind who raised to 245,000. In the big blind, Elder made it 625,000. Back to Liu, who calmly four-bet to 1.525 million - but the 2.8 million five-bet from Elder proved too much for her and she finally passed.
