Wu Triples

It’s getting to that time in the tournament when everything goes nuts. Players are getting the chips in at every available opportunity attempting to go big or go home and for some, it has been the latter. We have witnessed a slew of bust outs as we were prowling the room getting some chip counts.

Seven players have departed in a flurry of cards and chips over the last level and while we couldn’t get all of the bust outs we did get one of the best.

The first saw the short-stacked Laiheng Tse commit his last 28,400 from early position and the action folded around to Canlin Chen. The Chinese player had been busy since the last time we caught him in action against Justin Chan and had made a full recovery from getting his pocket kings cracked.

Chen threw in a single yellow 1,000-chip to represent the call and it folded around to Jack Wu in the small blind who called off his last 18,800 and with no more live players in the hand, the cards were turned over.

Laiheng Tse:
Canlin Chan:
Jack Wu:

Tse’s pair of sevens was just out-pipped by Chen’s pocket eights, and Wu held the lead with queens. Chen easily had both players covered and won the 9,600 side pot when the board ran out .
