Chiu Leads the Pack

Mateusz_Pater

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Edwin Chiu was kind enough to replay how he amassed a stack of over three million in chips.

He raised preflop with pocket fives. Jo Snell three-bet with ace-four out of the blinds. Chiu called.

The flop would come and Snell continued with a bet. Chiu came along with his set.

Snell would then barrel on the turn and river with Chiu coming along.

The eventual three million chip pot would go Chiu's way sending him to the outright lead.
