Cheng and Tsai Take From Torres
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jimmy Torres raised from under the gun and found a customer in Chao-Ting Cheng in the cutoff,. On a J?4?2? flop, Torres check-called for 60,000 and did so again for 130,000 on the 10? turn and 150,000 on the 3? river. Cheng tabled the A?J? for the top pair and top kicker to win the pot.
One hand later, Eric Tsai opened from under the gun and Torres called in the big blind. The 8?6?5? flop was checked for Torres to lead the 10? turn for 150,000. On the Q? river, Torres checked once again and that led to a bet worth 275,000 by Tsai.
Torres used two time banks and called, then tapped the table in defeat when he couldn't beat the A?10? of Tsai.
