Chuck Truck Picks Up Where He Left Off

After winning close to US$300,000 last night, Charles Chua is off to a good start today. On his first hand of the day, he called a raise to 600 from Joe Hachem, in position. The button player also called. On a flop of {2-Spades} {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts}, Hachem made a continuation bet of 1,600 that only Chua called.

Hachem fired again on the {5-Diamonds} turn for 3,500. Chua remained undeterred and made the call. When the river came {9-Diamonds}, both players checked.

"Nothing," said Hachem. Chua opened just slightly better than nothing when he showed {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} for a pair of threes. With that pot, he's up to 25,000 and Hachem is down to 24,000.
