Luo Unphased After Doubling Munteanu

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Xixiang Luo opened to 20,000 from under the gun and Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu moved all in for 151,000 from the next seat over. Luo made the call with a covering stack to put Munteanu at risk.

Bogdan-Andrei Munteanu: 5?5?
Xixiang Luo: A?K?

Munteanu pulled ahead on the 9?J?7? flop and the 5? turn left Luo drawing dead. The 2? river was a formality after which Munteanu scored a full double up through Luo.

Despite the minor setback Luo still holds the second-largest stack in the room by a wide margin.
