Brown's Aces Hold, Eliminates Chiu
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Kyle Ho opened with 80,000 in late position and got a three-bet to 210,00 from Peter Brown in hijack. Action went to the button Ichun Chiu, who checked the clock before four-betting to 480,000. Ho got out of the way of the escalating heat.
Brown five-bet all-in for about 1,900,000, and Chiu, who was covered, instantly called.
Ichun Chiu: A♦K♠
Peter Brown: A♠A♥
Chiu didn't expect to bump into aces but waited for the board to get dealt quietly. The board ran 5♥7♣J♦3♦8♦. Brown's aces held crushing Chiu's hope of finishing the event.
