David Chiu moved all in for his remaining 2,675 and got one caller. Chiu turned over the {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and as his opponent flipped over {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}, Chiu asked, "Do you want to split it?" with a laugh.

"Just don't beat me," replied his opponent. "I went to confession."

The flop was {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} putting a flush draw out there for Chiu, and the turn filled with with the {5-Hearts}. The river was a 9 and Chiu doubled up.

"One world... one dream," Chiu said, as the ESPN cameras rolled, referring to the Olympics. Chiu believes that poker should be an Olympic sport, that "We're all together, playing for a dream."

After the hand was finished another player pointed to Chiu and remarked, "Don't get him going. Let's not wake a sleeping giant!"
