Lijo Busts Two in First Level of Day 2abc
Pengfei Wang, Lander Lijo, and a late registrant in the big blind were three-way to the turn on a board of 4?10?7?2?. The big blind checked before Lijo bet 19,000 into the pot of around 20,500. Wang then called all-in for the same amount and the big blind also came along.
The river fell the 9? and the big blind led out for 25,000, leaving himself roughly the same amount behind. Lijo thought for a minute before putting the big blind all-in, and the big blind eventually made the call.
Lijo showed K?Q? for a king-high flush, while the big blind played 8?6? for a lower one. Wang, meanwhile, had the best hand up until the river, but his A?10? for top pair was outdrawn.
Lijo raked in a big pot while the two other players' Main Event dreams were crushed and they left the tournament area.
