Chick & Chu Are Coming For You!

The Australian contingent of the PokerNews Live Reporting Team stumbled upon two renowned poker personalities paired up on table 121 - that of renowned poker blogger and 2009 ANZPT Melbourne Main Event runner-up Heath "TassieDevil" Chick and 2007 Melbourne Poker Championship winner Haibo Chu.

We even got some chip counts and a hand with Chu in it. That's because we're cool.

From early position, Chu raised to 275 and another player in middle position called, as well as the player on the button to go three-handed to a flop of {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Chu and the middle position player checked to the button who opened for 325, Chu called and the middle position folded, then Chu and the button checked down both the turn of the {10-Spades} and the river {K-Diamonds}.

Chu showed {A-Hearts}{5-Spades} and the button tabled {A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} - that's what we call a chopportunity, folks.
