Lu Drags a Big One

Kou Vang opened for a raise in the hijack and was called by the two players behind him, as well as big blind Grace Lu. On the flop, Lu checked, and Vang bet 4,800 into the field. The cutoff made it 10,000, and the player on the button cold-called. Lu woke up with a cold three-bet to 20,600. Vang took a long time to think, getting counts of his opponents' stacks so he could navigate the tricky spot. Finally, he let his hand go. The cutoff mucked as well, but the player on the button opted to continue. Lu moved all in for 43,600 on the turn, and the player on the button appeared truly pained as he considered his choices. He ran his hands through his hair and muttered to himself for awhile before finally whipping his cards to the dealer. Lu didn't show.
