Chiu Doing Sprints

Level 7 : 200/400, 0 ante

David Chiu

David Chiu made it 3,200 preflop and was called by a player that limped before him. The flop came {2-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Chiu's opponent bet the pot, which was a majority of his stack. Chiu raised him all in for 8,100 total and the following hands were turned over:

Chiu: {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Spades}

But before the turn was even dealt, Chiu got up from his seat and scurried away. The turn fell {10-Diamonds} and the river {4-Diamonds}, giving Chiu a full house. His opponent was eliminated but his executioner was seemingly nowhere to be found. As the chips were pushed the way of Chiu's stack, he came running back and said "I wanted to play my button so bad!", referring to his table in the 8-game event that is happening on the other side of the black section in the pavilion.

Chiu is currently sitting healthy with 33,000.
