Liu Misclicks Herself Back in Business

Xuan Liu is back in this heat thanks to another double up after a lucky misclick.

Kitty Kuo opened to 1,800 in the 400/800-level holding {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Liu was to her direct left and missed the action and moved in for 5,500 chips with {K-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

"Shoot, I totally missed that open. I was looking to the GPL Twitch stream", Liu explained her action.

Kuo made the call and Liu was at risk. The board provided the help she was looking for with {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{9-Clubs}, which gave Liu another double up.

Xuan Liu is still in this heat, although she has to work with less than ten big blinds.

She had only five big blinds left in the 300/600-level when she was holding {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} in the big blind. Scott Ball opened with {10-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} and Liu was the only caller. Leaving her with only 1,300 chips left.

She played a stop-and-go by shoving on the {2-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}-flop. Ball had to call, but couldn't knock Liu out. The {4-Clubs} and {K-Diamonds} where in Liu's favor and she doubled up.

Liu Crippled After a Few Hands

It isn't Xuan Liu's day. She became sixth in the first heat and just had a very rough start in heat two.

It was Kitty Kuo who opened the action with a raise to 750 holding {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Liu had {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and decided to call. Byron Kaverman woke up with {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and put in a three-bet to 2,475. Kuo made the call and Liu went in the tank.

"Sorry team, for maybe not scoring any points again", she told the viewers before she raised to 7,955. Kaverman went all-in for 21,720. Kuo folded and Liu made the call.

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Liu was left with only 3,552 chips.
