Minh Ly was crippled in a hand against Fu Wong when he could not outdraw a pair of kings. The very next hand Ly was all in for the ante but caught three straight aces to get a set of aces and move up to 15,000. The next hand afterwards Ly was all in and doubled up to 50,000, which is exactly one big bet.

for the straight in a brave call that paid dividends.
