Ace-High Good Enough For Mao
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Renji Mao raised to 60,000 in early position and Andras Balogh called in middle position.
The flop came 10♦8♥10♥ and Mao continued for 65,000. Balogh called to the Q♣ turn, where Mao bet another 180,000.
Balogh again called and the 5♦ fell on the river. Mao then checked and Balogh quickly checked behind. Mao opened up A♦4♦ for a pair of tens, ace-kicker, and that was good enough to win the pot as Balogh mucked.
