Shizi Xiao Doubles Through Hyukjin Kwon

Dongwoon Lee raised in the hijack to earn four callers and they checked to Shizi Xiao in the cutoff on the 7♠ 5♦ 3♥ flop. Xiao bet 20,000 and Hyukjin Kwon then raised larger, forcing out Youngkyu Kim and Lee. Xiao moved all-in and Kwon called.
The top pair and gutshot of Kwon had equity versus the over pair but the J♣ turn and 9♣ river were blanks.
"Why just call?" Lee asked, referring to the preflop action. Xiao replied "position" while raking in the double near the bubble.
