Meystel Gets an Early Double
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Yeu Wei Hsiang raised to 30,000 in early position and Meir Meystel three-bet to 65,000 in the hijack.
The flop came 6♠7♦5♣ and Hsiang check-called a bet of 20,000 from Meystel.
The turn landed the 6♣ and Hsiang check-raised to 175,000 over Meystel's bet of 60,000. Meystel thought for a moment before making the call.
The river brought the 4♥ and Hsiang bet enough to put Meystel all in, who had 85,000 behind. Meystel made the call, tabling A♦8♥ for a rivered straight, while Hsiang turned over A♥6♥ for trip sixes.
