Hand #132 - Michael Chu Doubles Through Tommy Vu

Hand #132 - Tommy Vu has the button, he limps for 80,000, Chu raises to 280,000, and Vu calls. The flop comes {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Chu bets 375,000, Vu waves his arms as he says, "All in," and Chu quickly calls all in for 1.83 million with {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw. Vu shows {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a pair of eights. Chu has a lot of outs (he can also pair one of his overcards), but he'll need to hit something to stay alive here.

The turn card is the {5-Diamonds}, and Chu needs a queen, a jack, a ten, or a seven to survive.

The river card is the -- {7-Hearts}! Michael Chu hits his jack-high straight to stay alive and double up in chips.
