David Chiu Dropped Early in Day 2

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

We caught the action before the flop, as a player from under-the-gun and Eddie Oshana, sitting in middle position, both limped in for 1,200. David Chiu decided to put the pressure on and raised to 5,700, forcing the under-the-gun player to fold. Oshana wanted to see the flop, however, and made the call.

Flop: {4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Oshana checked it to Chiu, who forcefully announced "Pot!" while sliding a more than 10,000 into the middle. This was met by an instant declaration of "All-In" by Oshana and Chiu stood up from his chair while asking for a count. Oshana had Chiu covered and, pot-committed as he was, Chiu made the crying call with his {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for just a pair of aces.

Oshana tabled his {6-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} for a flopped nut straight and Chiu knew he was in terrible shape. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn offered a glimmer of hope and Chiu now needed another king or four to fall on the river to make a full house. After a useless {J-Clubs} on the river, the tournament veteran was dispatched early on in this Day 2.
