Thibodeau Finishes Liu Off
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Not long after Jacob Thibodeau doubled through Xingyu Liu by cracking aces, they were heads-up on a flop of 4♥J♠2♠.
Thibodeau checked to Liu, who bet 225,000. Thibodeau then check-raised to 600,000 and Liu called.
Both players checked on the J♦ turn, but Thibodeau announced he was all-in after the 3♣ completed the board.
Liu re-checked his cards and committed his last 1,800,000 into the middle. Thibodeau turned over 6♠5♣ for a rivered straight and Liu showed he held Q♣J♣ for trip jacks to be eliminated.
"Unlucky," Liu said as he exited the tournament area.
