Mao Leads The Turn

Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Iman Ghashayar opened to 34,000 from the cutoff and found one caller in Renji Mao in the big blind.

Mao check-called a 33,000 bet from Ghashayar on the 2♥A♠8♥ flop, but then led out for 45,000 when the 3♦ fell on the turn.

Ghashayar slid his hand into the muck and Mao collected the pot without showing.

Mao, who won his first WSOP bracelet earlier this year in Vegas, currently sits with about an average stack of 600,000.
