Double-Up Very Good for Lieu

Shamus

A player raised to 4,200 from early position, and Liz Lieu reraised to 13,000 behind him. It folded back around, and the original raiser asked Lieu how much she had left -- exactly 9,800.

He counted out enought chips to reraise and put Lieu all in. "It's very close," he said. Finally he made the call, turning over {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

. Lieu tabled {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

.

"Best I could hope for," he said. "Oh, you should call," said Lieu as she removed her earbuds and leaned forward.

The flop came {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

. "Good," nodded Lieu.

The turn was the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

. "Good," she repeated, still nodding.

The river was the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

. "Very good," said Lieu as she replaced her earbuds.

Lieu survives with just under 50,000.
