Big Slick Works Out for Wu
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Ching Da Wu got the bidding started with an open to 30,000 from early position. Nicholas Marchington chose to put more chips in the pot as he three-bet to 120,000 from the small blind in response. Wu shipped it for 436,000 total and was called by Marchington as the two went to a showdown, with Wu at risk.
Ching Da Wu: A♥K♠
Nicholas Marchington: J♠J♦
Wu needed help to stay in contention, but the flop kept Marchington in the lead when the dealer fanned out Q♠10♥3♠.
The turn was much kinder to Da Wu when it came the A♣ to give him a pair of aces, but Marchington was still in the hunt with a straight draw.
A brick hit the river when the 2♠ peeled to award Da Wu the pot.
