Wu Doubles Through Mendoza

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Jack Wu
Jack Wu

Picking up the action on the three-way flop of {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, Jack Wu led for 1,200 in the big blind. James Mendoza raised to 4,200 from an early position and was called by Xuan Van Nguyen as well as Wu. The {8-Spades} fell on the turn and it now checked to Mendoza, who bet 15,000.

Nguyen folded, Wu jammed for 21,800 and Mendoza instantly called.

Jack Wu: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
James Mendoza: {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}

The {10-Diamonds} river failed to pair the board and Mendoza was left with a short stack.

No Call for Short Stack Pham

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With 4,200 in the middle to the {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} turn, Tuan Minh Doan checked and Dung Tien Pham then pushed all-in for the 4,500 he had behind. Doan went into the tank and then folded the {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} face-up. A somewhat confused Pham raked in the pot and flashed his {a-Clubs}{4-Spades} for the inferior hand.
