Zwaine Still Climbing, Duan Pushes Off Vu

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

John Zwaine is in the hot seat presently making another big hand, this time against Duy Vu.

It was a limped pot, with Zwaine completing the small blind and Vu checking his option in the big blind to bring in a flop of {a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} with the action going check, check.

The {7-Clubs} turn also saw no betting, with Zwaine leading out for 225,000 on the {a-Clubs} river. Vu made a quick call but could not beat Zwaine's {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} turned straight which was good for another 305,000 in chips.

The hand after saw Huss Hassan take down a multi-way limped pot in position on the flop, and the hand after that saw Chao Duan push Duy Vu of a decent-sized pot.

It was Steven Zhou who was the instigator in this case, making it 160,000 to go from the hijack and picking up a caller in Vu (button) before Duan re-raised to 475,000 from the big blind. Zhou asked Duan how much more his was playing - ~2-million - before sliding his cards into the muck.

However, Vu decided to give Duan a spin and made the call to bring the two to a flop of {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs}, which Duan led for 300,000. Vu called and the dealer burned and turned the {5-Diamonds}, which was as far as the hand went.

While he took a good two-minutes about it, Duan eventually decided the right amount to double-barrel was a hefty 900,000 and Vu's cards instantly hit the muck.
