Hu Destroying the Field

Level 17 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Chengxu Hu
Chengxu Hu

Chengxu Hu limped from under the gun, Mounim Kaddouri moved all in for 470,000 and Hu made the call.

Mounim Kaddouri: A♥10♠
Chengxu Hu: Q♦2♦

Kaddouri had the lead, but Hu flopped a flush draw and an open-ender on the K♣J♦10♦ flop. The 9♥ on the turn gave Hu the king-high straight and the 8♣ completed the board, leaving Kaddouri in disbelief as he headed to the pay out desk.
