Liu Saved by the River
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Yaroslav Ohulchanskyi opened to 300,000 from under the gun before Ping Liu moved all in for 1,050,000 in middle position. Daniel Holzner then re-jammed for 5,425,000 on the button and, after asking for a count, Ohulchanskyi got out of the way.
Ping Liu: 8?8?
Daniel Holzner: 9?9?
Liu was in bad shape with his tournament life on the line and could find no help on either the K?K?6? flop or Q? turn. The 8? river, however, was gin and saved Liu from elimination while leaving Holzner with a dejected demeanor.
