Liu Loves the River
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Xiaohu Liu opened to 700 from the button and received calls from Jack Drummond-Smillie and Firoz Mangroe in the blinds.
The 9♠8♠3♥ flop was checked through. On the 7♦ turn, Mangroe led out with a bet of 1,500 when action was checked to him, with only Liu calling.
The 10♣ river completed the board, and Mangroe checked. Liu fired out a bet of 4,000, and Mangroe called quickly. Liu showed J♣6♣ for the rivered jack-high straight, and Mangroe sent his cards into the muck.
