Willerson Scores Huge Double

Picking up the action on the flop of {J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, Hai Chu check-called a bet from Neil Willerson from the small blind. The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and Chu checked for a second time. Willerson led out huge for 520,000 only to find Chu announce that he was all in. Willerson snap-called, tabling {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for sixes full of jacks and a heartbroken Chu showed {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} for trip jacks.

The river was the {A-Spades} and Chu was forced to ship over most of his stack to Willerson who is now sitting on about 4,500,000 in chips.
