Cao Survives

Shamus

Rui Cao started the day as one of the chip leaders, built his stack even further early on, but had fallen back and was down to just 28,000 when he recently pushed all in with {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

and was called by Robert Kay who held {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

.

The flop came a tantalizing {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

{6-Clubs}

, giving Cao a full house but a set to Kay, and the possibility of drawing a better boat. But the turn was the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

and the river the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

, and Cao survives with about 60,000 now.
