Liu Wins the Last One

On the final hand of the evening, we lost another player.

A flop of {10-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {3-Clubs} was out on board when we walked up, and JJ Liu led out with a bet of 9,100. Her opponent raised the pot, up to 38,400, and Liu moved all in with the covering stack. The other player made the call for his own tournament life, turning up {10-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for two pair. Liu showed {7-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for the naked flush draw, but it wasn't a draw for long.

The {8-Clubs} dropped on fourth street, pulling Liu into a big lead and leaving her opponent dead to four outs. The {A-Clubs} on the river was safe, though, and that knockout moves Liu up to about 122,000 chips and into the ranks of the chip leaders just as the night comes to a close.
