Chau Improves to a Boat
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Tsz Chau opened for 60,000 in cutoff and got both blinds to call - Alex James and Luis Yepez Carmona.
The three saw a flop of 7♦8♦2♣. The blinds checked and Chau continued with 150,000 making James fold. Carmona asked how much Chau had behind. The Englishman obliged by counting his chips for him. After the count was made, Carmona announced all-in and Chau snap-called.
Tsz Chau: J♦J♥ 
Luis Yepez Carmona: 10♣8♣
Carmona hit a pair on the flop but couldn't beat Chau's jacks. Carmona got additional outs when the 7♣ turn fell. On the river, another club dropped which should have given Carmona a flush but it was the J♣ which gave Chau a full house.
Carmona was eliminated soon after.
