Siu's See-Saw

Chad Siu

Chad Siu was just involved in all ins on consecutive hands.

On the first, Siu was all in with A-J versus Anderson Silva's pocket fours. An ace on board gave Siu the pot.

On the second, Kevin Nathan pushed all in preflop and Siu, having Nathan covered, made the call. Siu had {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, far behind Nathan's {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}.

The flop was {5-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, and Siu suddenly went from way behind to way in front. The {K-Spades} on the turn gave the advantage back to Nathan, however, and the {7-Hearts} on the river meant Nathan had doubled up to 180,000. Siu now has 230,000.
