Charles Chua

Charles Chua, who final tabled both the Main Event and the High Rollers event, at the 2008 APPT Macau event, mentioned to us before play commenced that he was keen for another big performance, however things have turned very sour for Chua in the early going.

With all the chips in preflop, Chua held {K-?}

{K-?}

{K-Hearts}

against an opponent's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

. The flop of {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{9-?}

was safe for Chua, but the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

on the turn gave his opponent the lead with a pair of aces. Chua had picked up a flush draw and would need another heart or a king on the river, however the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

peeled off to leave the "Chuck Truck" down to around 5,000 chips.
