Day 2 Chip Leader Tian Left Short-Stacked
Niveau 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Picking up the action on a flop of K♥7♦5♣7♥ with 500,000 already in the middle, Mengshi Tian had slid out a bet of 315,000 from the cutoff after Santtu Leinonen had checked to him from middle position.
Leinonen pondered his options for a couple of minutes, before moving all in for 770,000. Tian didn't look pleased, but made the call to put Leinonen at risk.
Santtu Leinonen: A♠7♠
Mengshi Tian: A♥K♣
The turn had propelled Leinonen into the lead with a set of sevens versus Tian's top pair top kicker, leaving Tian drawing dead.
Leinonen scooped a huge pot in excess of 2,000,000 and Tian was left with 280,000 after the 6♠ river completed the board.
