{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}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

for an open-ended straight draw. Vu shows {8-Clubs}

{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}

{5-Diamonds}

, and Chu needs a queen, a jack, a ten, or a seven to survive.

The river card is the -- {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

! Michael Chu hits his jack-high straight to stay alive and double up in chips.
