Liao Doubles Up Through Kerstetter
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Shiina Okamoto folded the button and Jamie Kerstetter pushed all in against the short-stacked Ceci Liao in the big blind. Liao had only 570,000 in chips, under six big blinds, and decided to call.
Ceci Liao: K♥4♣
Jamie Kerstetter: A♣J♣
The flop was good for Liao, 4♠7♣Q♥, giving her bottom pair to move her into the lead.
The turn K♣ gave improved her to two pair, but Kerstetter turned the gutshot and the nut flush draw. She was looking for her fourth knockout of the day; but the river Q♦ saved Liao and she doubled up.
