Zackey Doubles Up the Maniac

Hieu Luu, wearing a t-shirt that says "I'm a Lucky Donk", has been playing so many pots on Table 36 that it's becoming impossible to put him on a hand. There were already roughly 1 million chips in the middle of the table and a flop on board of {3-Spades}

when we heard the familiar cry of "All in and call". Zackey, the chip leader not so long ago, was in very rough shape. He showed down {A-Diamonds}

for middle pair against Luu's {Q-Diamonds}

, set of queens.

"You don't want to see a king or a ten," said one other player. The river was a complete brick, the {6-Hearts}

, giving Luu a lock on the hand. The river {8-Diamonds}

completed the board and set the dealer to work counting down Luu's 884,000 remaining chips. Combined with the pot, the double-up puts Luu back at 2.7 million. Zackey has fallen all the way down to about 2.6 million.
