Tsai Gets There on the River, Neugebauer Pays Him Off
Level 34
: Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Max Neugebauer limped in on the button with A?6?, Eric Tsai raised to 2,500,000 with K?Q?, and Neugebauer called.
Both players checked the A?10?2? flop before Neugebauer led out for 2,000,000 on the Q? turn with his pair of aces. Tsai called with his queens and straight draw as the J? fell on the river.
Tsai completed his straight and bet 3,200,000 after Neugebauer called. The Austrian lifted up his sunglasses to get a good look at the board and spent a few minutes shuffling his chips before calling as Tsai took the big pot to close the gap in their heads-up match.
