Liu Cracks De Silva's Kings
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Playing four-handed, Grant Wang raised to 165,000 as first to act. Yue Liu jammed all in for 885,000 from the button, Upeshka De Silva called, and Wang released.
Liu: A♥K♦
De Silva: K♥K♠
With Liu's rail calling for an ace, the dealer laid out the flop, and like magic one appeared in the window: A♠2♣7♥. De Silva could not hit his one remaining out on a 3♥ turn or a 6♠ river, and Liu had increased his stack by a factor of two.
