Liu Wins a Flip to Leave Punsri Short
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Punnat Punsri opened to 24,000 from the hijack, and Wing Po Liu three-bet the cutoff to 68,000. The action folded back to Punsri who four-bet to around 270,000, and left himself just a few chips behind. Liu then shoved for 266,000.
Wing Po Liu: J?J? 
Punnat Punsri: K?Q?
Liu was the one at risk but this flip was vital for both players as Punsri would have been left extremely short-stacked if he lost. The board ran out in Liu's favor as his pocket jacks stayed in the lead 10?5?10?4?3? runout.
