Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Shundan Xiao opened to 600,000 from the hijack with the A♠K♦ and Joe Serock defended his big blind with the 10♥8♠. Serock led out for 425,000 on the 7♥6♣4♥ flop and was called. The board paired with the 7♠ turn and Serock sized up to 1,400,000 and was called once more.
The K♥ completed the board, and with 5,300,000 in the pot, action checked through to showdown. Xiao tabled a pair of kings, which was good enough to take the pot.
