This poker.pro live reporter saw a potentially interesting hand developing at Table 15. Missing the action up until the turn, one of the players at the table not involved in the hand, Elliot Lythgoe, was kind enough to tell the story.
Prominent player Elliot Anthonioz (who came close to bagging in yesterday’s Day 1b flight) opened to 2,500 UTG. Zhanxi Mao made it 6,000 from the Hi-jack, and Anthonioz made the call.
Anthonioz checked the J♦K♣J♥ flop, and Mao continued for 3,500. Anthonioz then completed a check-raise move to 8,000. It didn’t scare Mao; he made the call, and the dealer revealed the 8♥ turn. Action went check-check, and Anthonioz checked once again on the 4♦ river. Mao bet 20,000, and after spending a minute or two in the tank, Anthonioz let his hand go.
Elliot Anthonioz: 96,500
Zhanxi Mao: 65,000
