Chen Yu Hung Vaults over Three-Million Hurdle

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Chen Yu Hung held {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} but he didn't have an easy call to make. After raising to 65,000, Hung faced a huge three-bet all-in from Yossi Krispin who pushed his 815,000.

Hung eventually called and when he saw his opponents {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, he showed a temporary relief. But it wasn't over just yet and Hung realized that soon, calling his "one time" before the {J-}{X-}{X-} flop has been dealt.

He followed it with a "Yes!" when the {K-} hit the turn, but the win could still slip through his hands as Krispin hoped for a ten to make a Broadway straight. A devastating change of events didn't happen, though, as the river brought a blank card.

That major victory strengthened Hung's stack tremendously as he's now playing 3,300,000.
