Luo Building a Monster Stack
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Shuang Luo opened to 6,500 from the cutoff and received calls from Aleksandr Kirichenko on the button and Igor Pihela in the big blind.
The flop came 7♠7♥4♦. Pihela checked, Luo bet 6,000, Kirichenko called and Pihela folded.
Both remaining players checked the 8♥ turn leading to the 9♠ river. Luo bet 50,000 into a pot of roughly 30,000. Kirichenko thought about his decision for about 90 seconds before folding and Luo took down a nice pot without showdown.
Luo currently holds one of the largest chip stacks in the room, worth over 150 big blinds.
