Luu Has a Hand, but It's No Good

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Hyper-aggressive Hieu Luu is difficult to put on a hand. Marc McLaughlin didn't have to worry about that when he open-shoved from the cutoff for 1.15 million. Luu called with Big Slick, {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

; McLaughlin had two live cards, {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{2-Clubs}

.

You know how this one goes. McLaughlin paired deuces on the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

flop, then hung on through the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

turn and

{7-Hearts}

river. After the pot was pushed to him, he began to profusely and repeatedly thank Doyle Brunson, who won back-to-back Main Event championships with the ten-deuce.

Luu is down to 1.15 million.
