Miao Runs Into Roberts' Set

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Zhicheng Miao
Zhicheng Miao

Jonathan Roberts raised to 5,000 in the cutoff and was called by Leslie Kearney on the button and Zhicheng Miao in the small blind.

The flop came 9?5?2? and Miao moved all in for 22,000. Both opponents called and saw the J? fall on the turn. Roberts then bet 25,000 and Kearney folded.

Miao showed 5?3?, but he was already drawing dead against Roberts' J?J? for a set of jacks. The river was the 8? and Miao was sent to the rail again.

"What happens if I win the tournament today? I'll take ��48,000," Roberts joked.

Lin Chen raised to 4,000 in the cutoff before Zhicheng Miao moved all in from the big blind. Chen snap-called for his last 35,000, with Miao barely having him covered.

Lin Chen: A?Q? All in
Zhicheng Miao: A?2?

The K?5?5? flop left open the possibility of a chop, but the 10? turn and Q? river gave Chen two pair and earned him a double up, leaving Miao on an extreme short stack.

Oliver Hutchins raised to 3,600 on the button and Jonathan Roberts called in the big blind.

The flop came A?K?Q? and Hutchins bet 2,000. Roberts called to the 7? turn, where Hutchins bet another 16,000.

Roberts then moved all in and Hutchins snap-called for 100,000, turning over A?K? for two pair. Roberts showed 10?4? for a flush draw and completed his flush on the 6? river to earn the massive knockout and increase his chip lead.

"That was ugly," Julian Mosquera said.
