Small Sweat for Chu and His Cowboys

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After action limped around, the player in the small blind moved all in for around 25,000 but then Justin Chu three-bet jammed for more for 45,000 in total. The other players quickly folded and the hands were tabled, with the small blind at risk.

Small Blind: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Justin Chu: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

Chu was in the lead when the cards were exposed and the flop of {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs} gave him a small sweat as it gave his opponent a pair of queens, so that he could now hit any queen or ace to take the lead.

The turn {6-Diamonds} was a blank and the river {k-Clubs} sealed the deal as Chu hit top set and eliminated his opponent.
