Liù for Lo; Mandarin Lessons for Ivey

Level 2 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu led out for 65,000 on a flop of {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and Rono Lo tanked for a bit before making the call. The turn was a repeat deuce - the {2-Clubs} - and both players checked.

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board, Negreanu checked again, and Lo bombed out 279,000. Kid Poker tanked for the better part of two minutes before calling, and there was a beat before Lo revealed {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a full house.

"Another six!" Stanley Choi blurted excitedly.

"Six eh?" Phil Ivey said to Lo, who was too busy raking in the pot to respond. He then turned to Choi and asked him how to say "six" in Mandarin.

"Liù," Choi responded.

"Liù?" Ivey echoed.

Choi nodded, and Ivey asked if Choi could find someone to give him good Mandarin lessons.

"Yes," Choi responded. "I'll make sure she's pretty."

"That would help," Ivey told him, grinning.
