Chu Finds Aces at the Right Time

Level 30 : 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Kevin Tucker raised to 300,000 under the gun and Carlos Chu three-bet the small blind to 950,000. Tucker four-bet ripped it, and Chu called for his stack of 2,100,000 to put himself at risk.

Carlos Chu: AA All in
Kevin Tucker: 33

Chu held the preflop nuts against Tucker's pocket threes.

Both players improved to boats on the 4JJ8J runout, but it was Chu's jacks full of aces that won the pot, earning him the double-up.
