Luo Unphased After Doubling Munteanu
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Xixiang Luo opened to 20,000 from under the gun and Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu moved all in for 151,000 from the next seat over. Luo made the call with a covering stack to put Munteanu at risk.
Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu: 5♥5♣
Xixiang Luo: A♦K♠
Munteanu pulled ahead on the 9♣J♥7♦ flop and the 5♦ turn left Luo drawing dead. The 2♠ river was a formality after which Munteanu scored a full double up through Luo.
Despite the minor setback Luo still holds the second-largest stack in the room by a wide margin.
