Duan Makes Big Call
Chao Duan has just shown he's come to play, going with his read to make a big call on the river in a sizable pot against Duy Vu.
Duan had taken down the previous hand with a 250,000 button raise, and the following hand saw Duy Vu pop it up to 260,000 from under-the-gun, with Duan responding with a three-bet to 650,000 from the cutoff.
Vu made the call to take play heads-up to a flop of 
with both players checking to bring in the 
turn. This is where things started to get interesting, with Vu leading large with a bet of 1-million.
Duan likes to think over his decisions and a lengthy visit to the think tank followed, but the Chinese player did eventually chose to call to keep the duo in action to the 
river.
Vu reached for chips once more, cutting out a bet of 1.4-million which sent Duan deep into thought. After a couple of minutes in the tank, an impatient Steven Zhou called for the clock, giving Duan 40-seconds and with just 2 seconds remaining on the timer, Duan slammed down the call.
It was good, Vu rolled over 
and Duan triumphantly tabled 
for the best hand and chunky pot. What a call.
