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: A♠A♣
Kevin Tucker: 3♦3♣
Chu held the preflop nuts against Tucker's pocket threes.
Both players improved to boats on the 4♣J♠J♣8♦J♥ runout, but it was Chu's jacks full of aces that won the pot, earning him the double-up.
