Limped Pot Gone Wrong or Right
Level 36
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Khang Pham limped in middle position and Renmei Liu called from the cutoff, Randy Levin called from the small blind and Marc Wolpert checked in the big blind. The flop came out with 9♥4♠J♦. Wolpert announced, "Check to the limper" and everyone checked.
On the turn Q♣ everyone checked to Liu who moved all in for 3,800,000 and Levin with a few more chips quickly called.
Both players announced, "Straight" but it was Liu who held the better straight.
Renmei Liu: K♠10♣ 
Randy Levin: 10♥8♦
The river 8♥ was irrelevant and Liu scored a big pot which left Levin descimated.
