Good Save By Douglas
After Barry Greenstein brought in with the 
up, Shane Douglas was next in line with the 
showing and completed. Chau Giang was the only caller.
Douglas: (x)(x) / 
/ (X)
Giang: (x)(x) / 
/ (x)
On fourth street, Douglas bet and Giang called. The same action happened on fifth, but then Giang picked up the leading hand with a pair of nines showing on sixth. He led with a bet and Douglas called. On seventh, Giang bet again. Douglas took a bit of time and then finally made the call.
Giang turned over the 
for nines full of jacks. Douglas showed that he made three queens with the 
, but it was a losing hand. The table were astonished by how disciplined Douglas was in not raising on seventh and saving some bets.
