Xu Strikes First
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Samuel Fournier opened to 800,000 from early position and Yuan Xu defended his big blind.
Both players checked on the 9♠J♣7♥ flop and then Fournier called a 1,000,000 bet from Xu on the 9♦ turn and a 1,800,000 bet from Xu on the 5♦ river.
Xu turned over Q♠J♠ for jacks-up and Fournier nodded his head in acknowledgement before sending his hand into the muck.
