Broadway Good for a Double
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Tao Chu raised from the hijack to 800,000, and only Gawain Visagie made the call, defending his big blind.
Chu continued for 750,000 on the J♦K♦9♣ flop, but met resistance in the form of a check-raise to 1,650,000 from Visagie. Chu made the call, and the players moved on to the turn.
Visagie committed his remaining 1,200,000 on the A♣ turn, and, after getting a count of the stack, Chu made the call.
Gawain Visagie: Q♥10♣
Tao Chu: A♠Q♠
Visagie had flopped Broadway, and when the river 3♠ couldn't help Chu to a chopped pot, the dealer pushed the huge pot to Visagie, who had already gone to the rail to celebrate with a friend.
