Big Clash Of The Blinds

Level 24: 20,000 / 40,000 ante: 40,000
Yi Ma

Under the gun +1 kicks off the action with a raise to 80,000, Ma Yi calls in the small blind, Xu Yuan slides a big 540,000 over the line, the initial raiser gets out of the way and Ma Yi jams 1,085,000 with 9 9 . Xu Yuan barely covers, but calls with J J to dominate. Things are looking peachy for Xu Yuan when the dealer flips over 3 K 7 8 before going pear shaped on the river 9 , giving Ma a set and leaving Xu with less than 4BB.
