Liu Applies The Pressure

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

A slow level was just livened up just before the next increase in blinds when Jiajun Liu bet out 100,000 from the button. Cyril Andre raised it up to 250,000 from the small blind and was called as both players watched the flop come down {q-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Both players checked their options as the {4-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Here, Andre bet out 200,000 and Liu called. With the {2-Spades} completing the board, Andre checked before Liu instantly moved all in for around 2 million in chips.

Andre thought for a moment before mucking his hand. Liu then rolled over his {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a bluff as he raked in the pot.
