Mao Straightens Geisler Out
Level 18
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sebastian Geisler, Rostyslav Sabishchenko, and Renji Mao were in for 14,000 each heading to a flop, which came 5♥K♣4♣.
Sabishchenko checked from the small blind and Mao checked from the big blind. Geisler then shoved for his last 17,500, which got a quick fold from Sabishchenko, but a call from Mao after a bit of deliberation to put Geisler at risk.
Sebastian Geisler: K♦K♠J♣3♥
Renji Mao: J♠10♠3♠2♣
The A♥ turn provided Mao with a wheel to vault him into the lead and left Geisler drawing to a full house.
It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 9♣ river bricked out for Geisler and he was eliminated — sending the sizable pot Mao's way.
