Shundan Xiao

After building back up her stack, Shundan Xiao has been seen frequently playing a number of pots and collecting chips without getting to showdown.

In a recent hand, Shundan Xiao opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and saw a single call from Harlan Karnofsky in the big blind.

The 8♣2♠J♠ flop saw Karnofsky check-call a 50,000 bet by Xiao, to see the K♣ turn. Xiao bet out 250,000 after seeing Karnofsky check again, taking down another pot from her opponent and climbing back up to over a million in chips.
