Tension at Table No. 1

Shamus

An intense limit hold'em hand just concluded on Table #1. Pat Pezzin bet from middle position, Chau Giang raised from the button, and Justin Bonomo 3-bet from the big blind. Pezzin folded, and Giang called.

The flop came {8-Hearts}

. Bonomo pushed out 10,000, Giang raised, Bonomo three-bet, and Chiang called.

The turn was the {4-Spades}

. Bonomo quickly bet 20,000, and Giang called.

The river was the {6-Hearts}

. Bonomo again bet, and Giang reacted visibly, quickly standing up and saying "Impossible!" He then took a full six or seven minutes to decide before making the call.

Bonomo showed two black queens and Giang mucked in disgust. He is now severely short-stacked.
