Thibodeau Doubles as Liu's Bad Day Continues
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Xingyu Liu opened to 205,000 from early position and Jacob Thibodeau shoved for 1,750,000 total from the hijack. Action folded back to Liu, who quickly put in a single chip to indicate a call to put Thibodeau at risk.
Jacob Thibodeau: K♠Q♠
Xingyu Liu: A♣A♦
Liu had Thibodeau crushed with aces, but the 5♥K♥6♠ flop gave Liu a sweat against Thibodeau's pair of kings.
The K♣ turn vaulted Thibodeau into the lead with trips, and the Q♣ river needlessly improved him further to a full house.
"Let's fu**ing go! C'mon now!" Thibodeau said as he shot up from his seat.
Liu, who started the day third in chips with 9,025,000, is now down to just 2,450,000.
