Liu Gets Raised On The River
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Chipleader of his table, Xiaohu Liu opened to 2,500 from the hijack, and he was only called by Ethan Bennett in the big blind.
On the flop K♣9♣7♥, Liu bet 1,700, and was called once again by Bennett. Then on the turn 5♠, both players checked.
The river brought the A♠, and Liu added 2,500 chips to the pot. However, Bennett decided to check-raise to 8,000. Liu called, and expressed his disappointment when Bennett showed him 9♦9♠ for a set. "I had AxKx" said Liu, who still maintains a big stack.
