Cloninger Wins Without a Showdown
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Victor Ramdin opened from under the gun to 160,000, Jiaqi Xu in the hijack called and Loren Cloninger in the big blind defended.
They went three-ways to a flop of K?J?7?. The action was checked to Xu who bet out for 245,000. Only Cloninger called.
The Q? turn checked through to the 8? on the river. Cloninger took the lead for 335,000 which was enough to force a fold from Xu.
