Aces Versus Kings Lets Fu Double Through
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Niko Mykkanen raised to 360,000 from the cutoff. The button folded, and Jian Fu moved all in for 980,000. Mykkanen flicked in one chip to make the call, and the players tabled their hands.
Jian Fu: A♦10♦A♠8♦
Niko Mykkanen: K♠2♠K♦Q♦
Fu held the lead heading to the flop as the dealer slid a board of K♥2♥10♣ onto the felt. Mykkanen spiked a king for top set heading to the turn.
The turn card was the 4♣ with Mykkanen's set seemingly dominating Fu for this tournament life.
A brutal river card of the A♣ gave Fu a higher set to hang on and double his stack to over two million.
