'How the West Was Won'
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with the board reading 
with a pot of around 325,000 in the middle.
From middle position, Brandon West bet 240,000 over to Jonathan Liu under the gun. Liu thought it out for several moments before eventually giving a sigh and laying down his hand.
West showed the 
which he had only flatted Liu's raise with preflop, according to the table talk afterward. Liu claimed to have folded pocket nines as West gathered in more chips to his chip lead.
