Lijo Busts Two in First Level of Day 2abc
Pengfei Wang, Lander Lijo, and a late registrant in the big blind were three-way to the turn on a board of 4♣10♦7♥2♥. The big blind checked before Lijo bet 19,000 into the pot of around 20,500. Wang then called all-in for the same amount and the big blind also came along.
The river fell the 9♥ and the big blind led out for 25,000, leaving himself roughly the same amount behind. Lijo thought for a minute before putting the big blind all-in, and the big blind eventually made the call.
Lijo showed K♥Q♥ for a king-high flush, while the big blind played 8♥6♥ for a lower one. Wang, meanwhile, had the best hand up until the river, but his A♣10♥ for top pair was outdrawn.
Lijo raked in a big pot while the two other players' Main Event dreams were crushed and they left the tournament area.
