Boshaung Gao opened for 9,000 from the cutoff, only to call a 27,000 three-bet MSPT champ Steve Federspiel made from the button.

The two went heads-up to a flop and Gao check-called Federspiel’s 20,000 continuation bet, bringing the turn.

Both players checked, and the completed the board on the river.

Federspiel then called a 35,000 bet from Gao, and both hands were tabled.

Steve Federspiel - 325,000
Boshaung Gao - 250,000
