Qiu on a Quest

Andrew Qiu raised preflop to 30,000, and Terry Stewart called. The flop came {K-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. Qiu bet 50,000, and Stewart called. The turn brought the {9-Clubs}. This time Qiu checked, and Stewart bet 75,000. Qiu called.

The river was the {3-Spades}. Qiu checked again, and Stewart this time fired out 125,000. Qiu again made the call, showing {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Stewart showed {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for kings with a lesser kicker. Stewart fell to 900,000 on that one.

Qiu picked up another nice pot the very next hand when he shoved all in following a preflop raise by Stewart and reraise by Marc Podell, causing both to fold. Qiu is now up to 1.2 million.
