Chuck Truck Survives Flip

Charles Chua
Charles Chua
For the fourth time since we came back from dinner, we had a short stack all in for this tournament life. Charles "the Chuck Truck" Chua opened the betting with a raise to 17,000. Action folded to David Steicke in the big blind, who asked for a count on Chua before reraising to 53,000. Steicke's chips had barely hit the felt when Chua announced he was all in. Steicke made the call.

Chua: {A-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Steicke: {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

Steicke had the better hand, but he needed to duck Chua's overcards. Neither player improved on the {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop or on the {7-Diamonds} turn. Down to his last possible card, the Chuck Truck found the {A-Diamonds} on the river to keep on truckin'.

For the first time in two days, David Steicke has lost the chip lead. Charles Chua now has about 340,000.
