Mai Bien dodges everything

Level 7: 300 / 600 ante: 600

A player from UTG decides to put his remaining 1,000 in the middle as France’s Guillaume Lafont 3-bets it to 2,500 from the +2 position. The action is folded to Mai Bien of Vietnam who defends his BB.

The flop is 2♥ 9♥ T♦ as Mai checks. Lafont CBets for 2,000 and Mai calls. The turn is the T♥ and this time, both check. The river is 2♣ and both players decide to take it to showdown.

The all-in player shows J♠ 8♠ for a missed straight while Mai tables 5♦ 5♠. Lafont mucks and now Mai’s stack nears the 50,000 mark.
