Fa Picks Off Erquiaga
David Erquiaga has proved time and again that he is a fearless player, not afraid to bluff. Unfortunately for the Filipino however, Chou Chien Fa sniffed out his most recent attempt in a big pot that left Erquiaga short.
The two had battled in the decent-sized pot the hand earlier, the details of which we missed, but we caught all the action in this one. It was Fa the man raising the button, with Erquiaga defending from the small blind. The 
flop saw Erquiaga check-call Fa's continuation bet.
The 
turn saw Erquiaga lead for 300,000 into an already sizable pot, with Fa making the call. The 
river saw Erquiaga count out chips again, making it 500,000 to go and leaving himself 620,000 behind.
Fa seemed flummoxed and paid a visit to the think tank for quite some time. Eventually, he slammed down what turned out to be a great call. Erquiaga rolled over 
for king-high and Fa triumphantly revealed his 
for a pair of treys, which were good for a chunky pot.
