Chua was a huge favorite with pocket aces until the 6♦ K♥ 3♣ 2♠ K♠ runout gave Nakamura trip kings to eliminate both players and drag in a colossal pot.

Chua Knocks Out Chung

Level 4: 200 / 500 ante: 500

Christopher Chua

With two players seeing a board of 9♣ Q♥ 2♣ 5♦ and 14,000 in the middle, Peter Chung moved all in for 13,300 from the big blind and Christopher Chua called from the hijack with a covering stack to put him at risk.

CC Christopher ChuaPhilippines	K♣Q♦	41,700(83 BB)

Chung is in rough shape with second pair versus Chua’s top pair. He finds no help on the A♣ river and is sent to the rail while Chua wins the pot.
