Xiao and Tsang Tangle
Level 1
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Hong Kong’s Anson Tsang opened the action with an early position raise to 2,500 with the sharply dressed Eric Xiao the only caller in the big blind to take the action heads-up to a flop of 
, which Xiao checked.
Xiao clearly liked the flop as he immediately led for 2,800 and the action was on Tsang, who decided to test the waters with a raise, making it 7,500 to go. Xiao did not take long to reach for his big chips and three-bet to 16,000 in total.
Tsang took the hint and mucked and Xiao scooped in the pot.
“I had queens,” said Xiao when Tsang quizzed him about the hand, though it’s a moot point now as he won the pot without showdown to climb to 115,000 while Tsang dropped to 78,000.
