JJ Liu just went on an absolute blitzkrieg of a rush before the break to move her stack to a whopping 485,000 in chips. Here's how it went down in a couple of back-to-back hands.

We arrived at the table in the first hand with the board reading {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Spades} between JJ Liu and Kwinsee Tran. Liu was up first and checked to Tran. He bet 25,000 and Liu check-raised enough to put Tran all in. He made the call and showed the {K-Spades}{K-Clubs} for a pair of kings and a flush draw. Liu held the {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for top pair of aces. The river completed the board with the {8-Clubs} and Liu won the pot to move to about 375,000. Tran was eliminated.

On the second hand, Liu got all the money in on the flop of {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} versus an opponent holding the {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Liu held the {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for bottom set. The player she was involved with, had around 125,000 or so himself to start the hand and after the turn came the {2-Hearts} and the river the {2-Clubs}, all of those chips went Liu's way.
