The action is about 150 hands in, and nearly a quarter of that has been heads-up play. John Sun and Kenneth Baime, the Day 1a and Day 1b chip leaders coming into Day 2 here at MSPT 154, are being mostly cagey and careful. Very few showdowns have occurred, with most action being bet-call preflop and a bet taking down the flop action. However, on one particularly interesting hand, things got a little weird.
Baime made it 200,000 to go and Sun called from the big blind. The flop came , which Sun checked. Baime bet 250, and Sun called.
The turn brought . Once more Sun checked and this time Baime bet 375,000. Sun called.
The on the river slowed things down and both players checked.
Sun:
Baime:
Both players had Two Pair, Queens and Tens, with an Ace to ultimately split the massive pot, one of the rare showdowns in this head-up battle.
Sun has around 5 million in chips, with Baime taking the remainder.
