Wu On the Brink

[user252447]

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

It looks like Raymond Wu has had an early setback and is now running on fumes. We say a couple of recent hands where he was looking to get some back without much luck.

Wu opened under the gun for 4,000 and faced a three-bet to 9,700 from Jorn Walthaus to 9,700. Wu called and check-folded to a bet for the rest of his chips on a flop of .

On the next hand he was in the big blind and called a bet of 4,000 from Stephane Blouin. The flop was and when Wu checked a bet of just 3,000 from Blaouin was enough to get a fold from Wu who went on to fold his small blind next hand.
