Hu Takes a Chunk From Michael

Level 19
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Zhewen Hu made it 25,000 from the cutoff and Angelos Michael three-bet the small blind to 105,000. Once the big blind folded, Hu called.
They saw a flop of 7♦5♠A♦ where Michael made a continuation-bet of 80,000, which Hu quickly called to see the 3♦ turn, which went check-check.
The 6♠ completed the runout and again the action went check-check and Michael showed 8♥8♣. However, Hu had paired his ace holding A♥J♣ to take the pot.
