Ace-High Good Enough For Mao
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Renji Mao raised to 60,000 in early position and Andras Balogh called in middle position.
The flop came 10?8?10? and Mao continued for 65,000. Balogh called to the Q? turn, where Mao bet another 180,000.
Balogh again called and the 5? fell on the river. Mao then checked and Balogh quickly checked behind. Mao opened up A?4? for a pair of tens, ace-kicker, and that was good enough to win the pot as Balogh mucked.
