Cheng Almost Closes the Gap to Tsai
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Junnie Pamplona raised to 325,000 in the small blind and folded when Eric Tsai three-bet to 930,000 out of the big blind.
Tsai limped the next small blind and Chao-Ting Cheng checked his option to the K?8?4? flop. Tsai bet 100,000 and the call by Cheng followed. Both checked through the 8? turn and the 3? river completed the board.
Tsai bet 300,000 and Cheng instantly called, getting shown the 10?2? for a bluff by Tsai. Cheng earned the pot with the K?J? to come within three big blinds of his fellow countryman.
