Chau in a Tough Spot
Level 21
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Picking up the action on a board of K♠3♥9♣Q♥6♣ with roughly 65,000 in the pot, Frédéric Chau in the big blind bet 37,000, but last year's finalist Victor Hoogstoel in the hijack raised all-in for 135,000.
Chau went deep into the tank, staring at Hoogstoel for a long moment. He eventually decided to fold, while Hoogstoel seemed relieved.
