Co Doubles Hao
Eugene Co began the day with a stack of 190,000 and has managed to spin this up to substantially more, though the Filipino player has just shipped some chips the way of Tian Hao.
We arrived just as Co, sitting under-the-gun plus one opened with a raise to 4,500 and action folded around to Hao on the button. With just 18,400 left in his stack Hao’s options were limited and he chose the most aggressive one available to him and moved all-in.
Co did not look happy about it but felt compelled to call off the other 13,900 and both players turned their cards over.
Tian Hao: 
Eugene Co: 
Hao had the best hand, but then he needed it as he was the man whose life was on the line and the 
runout was exactly the sort of board he wanted. Hao stacked up to 38,900 and while Co took a small hit the Filipino still has plenty of chips with a stack of 266,000.
