Hieu Luu

Mike Greco opened the pot for a 36,000 raise and Hieu Luu reraised from behind. Greco moved all in for about 270,000 and Luu called.

Greco: {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

Luu:

{8-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

The board kept Greco's kings safe and he doubles up to 560,000.

Shortly after Luu is involved with another all in preflop hand while holding {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

against the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

of Mike Linn. However, this time the result would turn out better for Luu as the board came {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{2-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

giving him a set of eights.

Hieu Luu - 2,000,000
