Trofimov Raises Big on the River
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Dragos Trofimov and Shundan Xiao built a pot of around 30,000 as they went heads-up to the 9♦6♠5♥ flop. Xiao then led out for 5,000 from the small blind, Trofimov raised to 17,000 on the button, and Xiao called.
Both players checked the 10♦ turn and the J♦ fell on the river. Xiao then bet 25,000.
Trofimov spent more than a minute pondering the decision before he raised to 90,000. Xiao instantly mucked her cards and Trofimov took the pot.
