Lim Wins Titanic Tussle With Mao for a Million Chips
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
All of the chips went into the middle preflop with James Lim at risk for 525,000 in the cutoff against Renji Mao in the hijack.
James Lim: K?K?
Renji Mao: A?K?
Mao was behind with Big Slick as Lim had cowboys. The flop of J?9?3? was safe for Lim, but the A? gave Mao the lead with top pair.
It did, however, produce a flush draw for Lim, which he hit on the river when the 4? was tabled to secure a massive double up and Lim is now among the chip leaders.
