Chu slid in a call before checking the J♣ turn, and Barbara bet another 12,000. Chu called and fired a bet of 15,000 on the 7♥ river.
Barbara made the call, and Chu tabled A♣9♣ for a flush. Barbara showed Q♣Q♦, while Keenan's hand of A♦K♣ was exposed as he exited the room.
At a nearby table, Jay Chan scored a knockout when his A♣K♠ made two pair against Q♥Q♦ to pad his stack.
