Ireland Sets up Chu
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Joon Park opened to 20,000 in late position, Hai Chu called in the cutoff with Anderson Ireland flatting in the small blind.
On the flop Ireland led out for 40,000, Park folded and Chu raised to 188,000 which was a significant part of Ireland's stack. After a minute or so of thinking it over Ireland shoved for his remaining 211,940 and Chu made the call.
Anderson Ireland:
Hai Chu:
Ireland's set of nines was in the lead but Chu's open-ended straight draw had him drawing live.
The runout saw Ireland's hand hold and he earned a large double up.
