Hand #132 - Michael Chu Doubles Through Tommy Vu

Hand #132 - Tommy Vu has the button, he limps for 80,000, Chu raises to 280,000, and Vu calls. The flop comes {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Chu bets 375,000, Vu waves his arms as he says, "All in," and Chu quickly calls all in for 1.83 million with {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw. Vu shows {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a pair of eights. Chu has a lot of outs (he can also pair one of his overcards), but he'll need to hit something to stay alive here.

The turn card is the {5-Diamonds}, and Chu needs a queen, a jack, a ten, or a seven to survive.

The river card is the -- {7-Hearts}! Michael Chu hits his jack-high straight to stay alive and double up in chips.

Hand #128 - Tommy Vu has the button in seat 3, Cales limps from the small blind for 80,000, Chu raises from the big blind to 330,000, and Vu folds. Cales moves all in for 790,000, and Chu beats him into the pot with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Cales shows {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Cales needs something runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn card is the {5-Diamonds}, and a four on the river would give both players a five-high straight, chopping the pot.

The river card is the {K-Diamonds}, and Chu wins the pot with his pocket queens. Barry Cales is eliminated in third place, earning $235,575.

The runner-up will earn $364,761, while the winner will take home $585,744.
