Mike Greco opened the pot for a 36,000 raise and Hieu Luu reraised from behind. Greco moved all in for about 270,000 and Luu called.

Greco: {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Luu: {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}

The board kept Greco's kings safe and he doubles up to 560,000.

Shortly after Luu is involved with another all in preflop hand while holding {8-Spades} {8-Hearts} against the {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} of Mike Linn. However, this time the result would turn out better for Luu as the board came {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {K-Spades} giving him a set of eights.

Hieu Luu - 2,000,000
