Du Spikes Turn to Double on Bubble
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Yue Du opened to 25,000 from under the gun and Zyad Qasem called in the next seat before Caleb Larsen three-bet to 90,000 in the hijack. Du moved all in for 159,000 and Qasem folded as Larsen quickly called.
There were five all-ins that needed to play out before the hands were revealed to show Qasem behind.
Yue Du: A♠Q♠ 
Caleb Larsen: Q♦Q♣
Du needed to hit an ace to stay alive and didn't get help from the 5♥5♣2♣ flop. However, the A♦ turn gave him a big lead and he oddly called for a queen before the K♠ river confirmed him a double.
