Big Double for Qu

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Several minutes into the break, Boyuan Qu was in the tank on the {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{J-Hearts} board. His opponent, Gionni Demers, had put Qu all in, and Qu looked pained with his decision and a remaining stack of 89,100. The pot at the time was about 120,000 in chips.

Eventually, Qu made the call with the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for top pair and a gutshot straight draw, but his decision was sped up a little bit thanks to Demers calling the clock. He was up against the {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for Demers, which was good for a pair of eights, a flush draw, and a straight draw.

Despite all the outs he held, Demers missed when the {6-Diamonds} hit the board on the river, and Qu won the pot.

"Tough call," Qu said to a friend watching the completion of the hand. "I thought he had queens or kings, or something. I can't fold there."
