Xu's Turn Lead Makes Pankov Fold

Level 6 : Blinds 800/1,500, 1,500 ante

Danielle Noja min-raised from middle position and Qiang Xu called in the next seat before Vitalii Pankov three-bet to 12,000 from the cutoff. The player in the small blind called, as did Noja and Xu.

On the AQK flop, it checked to Pankov, who slid out 15,000. Only Xu called to see the J fall on the turn, where he led out for 50,000. Pankov didn't like that bet and after some time in the tank, he elected to fold.
