Phua Busts Twice; Doubles Twice on Third Bullet

Level 7 : 0/0, 5,000 ante
Paul Phua
Paul Phua

The second bullet of Paul Phua saw him all in and at risk with the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} against Devan Tang's {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and the latter turned a straight on the board of {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

The next hand saw a five-way limped pot to the {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{8-Spades} flop and Chan Wai Leong bet 40,000 first to act. Phua moved all in from the button for 90,000 and Leong called with the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Phua had the {A-Clubs}{9-Spades} and got there thanks to the {9-Diamonds} turn and {7-Clubs} river run out.

Phua then got it in for 225,000 preflop with the {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} against Leong's {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} and called for three diamonds on the flop and an ace on the river. The first prediction was spot on with a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, the {9-Diamonds} turn improved Phua to a flush and the {7-Clubs} river was already meaningless.
