Qing Lu's Ladies Hold On
Action picked up on the river with three players looking at a board of 
. James Calderaro moved all in for 25,000, about the size of the pot, and he had both of his opponents covered.
Jeremy Bocka thought long and hard about calling off his tournament life. He did, though, have to worry about Qing Lu behind him. He decided to let his cards go.
Qing Lu wasn't folding, though. She tossed in the call. Calderaro showed 
for the missed flush draw. Lu showed 
for the over pair and the winning hand.
"I almost called!" said Bocka frustratingly.
"Yeah, but she had you beat," said a tablemate.
"But if I call, she folds," said Bocka, "I wanted to call so badly. If I call, you still call?" Bocka asked Lu.
"Yeah," Lu said she would have called anyway as she stacked chips.
