Chiu the Fat

The gentleman in the cutoff raised to 3,000 and received three calls from assortedly the button, David Chiu in the small blind and the gent in the big blind.

They saw a {3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop and it checked around to the button who bet 4,500. Chiu called, and once the other two players had folded, they were heads up to the turn.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and Chiu check-called another 5,500 before checking again on the {6-Hearts} river. This time his opponent checked behind, and they turned their cards over.

Button: {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Chiu: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

"Ooh, the eight plays," said Chiu, and indeed it did.

Chiu won another decent-sized pot the next hand as well, and is now at 160,000.
