Meng Out-Flips Roe To Stay in the Tournament

Level 18 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Michael Roe
Michael Roe

Under the gun Junxing Meng moved all in for 257,000. It folded to mid-position Michael Roe who called swiftly. The rest of their table got out of the way just as swiftly, and a pair-v-overs situation was revealed:

Roe: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Meng: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop was ace-free, but the turn was the {a-Diamonds} and the river the {8-Diamonds} securing Meng a double through. Roe's stack had, according to tablemates, been on the rise in the recent past, and this dent set him back a ways. Meng said that "you need luck [in tournaments] - just make the right decision."
