Cloninger Wins Without a Showdown
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Victor Ramdin opened from under the gun to 160,000, Jiaqi Xu in the hijack called and Loren Cloninger in the big blind defended.
They went three-ways to a flop of K♥J♠7♥. The action was checked to Xu who bet out for 245,000. Only Cloninger called.
The Q♣ turn checked through to the 8♠ on the river. Cloninger took the lead for 335,000 which was enough to force a fold from Xu.
