Gu Blasts Lian Off the Best Hand

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Xiang Lian raised to 100,000 on the button and Yuefan Gu defended his big blind.

The flop came 5Q9 and Lian continued for 85,000. Gu raised to 240,000 and Lian tossed in all his time banks as he tanked for a minute before calling.

Both players checked the K turn. The river was the K and Gu moved all in. Lian had 750,000 remaining and again burned through his time banks before giving up Q2. Gu took the pot with 108 for just ten-high.
