Chu Flipped Out By Foster

Level 28: 40,000 / 80,000 ante: 80,000
Donavan Chu

Dylan Foster just padded out his stack a little after he eliminated Donavan Chu.


Foster opened the button to 160,000 and then called the shove of Chu, who moved all in from the big blind for around 700,000.


Donavan Chu: 6 6


Dylan Foster: A T


Chu instantly fell behind on the K A 4 flop and couldn't find the six he needed as the J 3 runout meant he was eliminated.

Chu Fires for the River Three

Level 23: 10,000 / 25,000 ante: 25,000

Danavan Chu raised the small blind to 60,000 and was defended by Noppon Taengruen from the big blind.


Both players saw the 7 4 7 flop and checked through to see the J land on the turn, where Chu fired out 55,000, which Taengruen made the call.


The river showed a 3 . Chu was determined to take down the pot and sent another chunky barrel of 200,000. Taengruen eventually threw his cards back to the dealer after some consideration.

Donavan Chu: K Q


Frederick Hernandez: T T

Lim Has The Better Kicker

Level 19: 5,000 / 10,000 ante: 10,000

Donavan Chu and Shyh Chyn Lim were starting at a board of 8 4 K 8 with a pot of over 150,000 in the middle.


Big blind Chu check-called the 45,000 bet of Lim to see a 3 on the river. Both checked to show their cards.


Chu showed K T for a pair of kings, but Lim had the better kicker with K Q to win the pot and leave Chu damaged.
