Roller Coaster on Table 11
Level 8
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Howard Chuang took a flip with [QhQc against the A♦K♦ of Mi Deng and held on the 10♥8♥2♣4♦3♥ board to double.
One hand later, most of the profit vanished when he took on Anton Lu, limping in the small blind and calling a raise to 21,000 to the J♥10♦8♠ flop. Chuang check-raised from 30,000 to 80,000 and then called Lu's shove for 223,000.
Anton Lu: Q♥Q♦ 
Howard Chuang: 10♥8♣
Lu missed on the K♦ turn but gained equity, then struck gold with the Q♠ river.
Deng never recovered from the previous coin flip and got the last of it in with A♦J♣ against the 3♣3♦ of Daniel Rezaei. The Q♥J♦2♣8♦3♥ runout was a cruel one as Rezaei rivered the set.
