David Chiu Doubles Up

A middle position player raised to 1,800 and was called by both blinds, David Chiu being the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Both blinds checked and the original raiser bet out 3,000. The small blind folded and Chiu moved all in for 12,275. After asking a few probing questions, his opponent said "Okay, I'll pay you off" and tossed in two 5,000 chips.

Chiu was a long way in front with his {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} against his opponent's {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. The turn card was the {9-Clubs} giving Chiu's opponent a flush draw but the river {8-Hearts} saw Chiu raking in all the chips.
