Ciao, Giang

Chau Giang
Chau Giang
High stakes cash game pro Chau Giang was eliminated from the tournament just two hands after taking his seat late in the first level of play.

Action folded around to a player in the cutoff who made it 150 to go. Giang called from the small blind and the big blind entered the fray as well.

The flop came {A-?} {7-?} {3-?} and Chau passed the first action to the big blind who led out with a 450 bet. The cutoff player made the call and when the action returned to Giang, he moved all in for a total of 3,600. The big blind made the call and the cutoff surrendered, prompting Chau to table his {A-Spades} {10-Spades}. The big blind then revealed {A-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} for top two pair, causing Chau to chuckle to himself before watching the turn and river blank out, putting an abrupt end to his day.
