Chugging Along

On a flop of {A-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs}, a raising war exploded between David Chiu in the small blind and the player in the cutoff position. The UTG player put in the last bet, about 10,000, and Chiu was put to the test. If he were to call and lose, he'd be left with just 4,400. Nonetheless, Chiu made the call.

UTG: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Chiu: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}

Chiu was ahead with his set but needed to dodge a club or ace. The {3-Diamonds} turn changed nothing, and neither did the {6-Spades} river. Chiu's set held to take down the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
