Chipleader of his table, Xiaohu Liu opened to 2,500 from the hijack, and he was only called by Ethan Bennett in the big blind.
On the flop K?9?7?, Liu bet 1,700, and was called once again by Bennett. Then on the turn 5?, both players checked.
The river brought the A?, and Liu added 2,500 chips to the pot. However, Bennett decided to check-raise to 8,000. Liu called, and expressed his disappointment when Bennett showed him 9?9? for a set. "I had AxKx" said Liu, who still maintains a big stack.
