Ding Shows the Mallards
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Tom Orpaz opened to 14,000 from the cutoff and Biao Ding defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the J♣10♦8♠ flop leading to the 7♠ turn. Ding bet 15,000 and was called by Orpaz.
Ding fired another barrel on the J♠ turn, this time for 50,000 which was enough to force a fold from Orpaz.
"Show the bluff," Orpaz urged Ding, who obliged, showing 2♣2♠ for just a pair of ducks.
"You were ahead. Can't call with ace-high," Orpaz told his opponent as the pot was pushed to Ding.
