Khuu Victim of a Brutal River

Chuc Khuu in the cutoff, button Cosmin Penescu, and Charles Chattha under the gun all got their chips in the middle preflop.

Chuc Khuu: J♦10♦
Cosmin Penescu: A♥K♣
Charles Chattha: A♣K♥

"Give it to me one time," Khuu pleaded, and he got his wish on the 7♣J♣4♦ flop. "Six of diamonds," he asked for.

"Why not a jack," a tablemate asked.

"That's more fun," Khuu replied as the 9♦ fell on the turn, also giving him a flush draw. The river, though, was a catastrophic A♠ as Chattha and Penescu both paired their ace.

Khuu had around 275,000 remaining and was sent to the rail, punching the wall on his way out, while Chattha and Penescu split his chips.

At the same time at another table, Beihao Wang doubled up against Lin Chen for around 200,000 with A♦J♠ against 9♣9♠ when Wang spiked the river on 4♠Q♣6♥K♠A♣.
