Can You Lay Down a Set?

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

With a board of 55Q9 and two hearts; can you lay down a 5?

Two players had to make that decision, one did put down his 75o the other player made the all-in call with 65o. Joe Awada had a flush draw and hit his fifth heart on the river. It was the {7-Hearts}

, which would have made a full house for the player who folded.

Chau Giang is entertaining his table by recanting gambling tales involving high stakes betting on a round of golf. He flew to Mexico with Bobby Baldwin, Phil Ivey, and Doyle Brunson. They played golf with NBA legend Michael Jordan for 50K per hole.

"I'm not good. I don't play," admitted Giang. "I'm just there to gamble."
