Varonen, Cai Get Paid on the River
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Around 400,000 was already in the pot as Lauri Varonen and Pablo Ubierna went to the river on a board of A♥9♣J♣K♦8♠. Varonen then bet 275,000 from the button.
Ubierna used several time banks until eventually calling in early position as Varonen turned over 9♦9♠ for a set to win the pot, knocking Ubierna down to an extreme short stack.
At the same time at another table, Haoran Cai had moved all in for 270,000 from the button on a board of 10♠Q♠8♣2♦3♣ and Firoz Mangroe called under the gun. Cai showed 2♠2♣ for a set of deuces and Mangroe mucked 10♣9♣ as Cai doubled up.
