Yuwen Shao Exits With A Few Min Of Late Reg Still Available
Yuwen Shao leads 30,000 and big blind Istvan Birizdo defends to see the flop 9♣ 4♦ 6♥ where he check-calls a 30,000 c-bet to reveal the 6♠ turn. Taking over the reins, Birizdo leads 28,000 before filling up Shao's 108,000 raise. Back to a check on the 3♦ river, Birizdo watches Shao jam for 429,000 and considers his options carefully. Eating up a time bank, the Hungarian makes the call with 9♥ 7♠ and sends Shao to the rail who had A♦ T♠ .
