Chiang Moves Up the Standings Taking Out Acton
Level 25
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
All the chips were in the middle and Troy Acton was at risk for 625,000 in the cutoff. Chih Chiang in the small blind had Acton covered.
Troy Acton: A♠A♥
Chih Chiang: J♠J♣
Acton was ahead and after board pairing at the K♣3♠2♦K♠ turn, he was a 95% favorite to take down the pot. But Chiang hit the J♥ on the river to take a massive pot and move towards the chip lead.
