Hu Puts Nearly Half the Table at Risk
Vincent Moscati started the action raising nearly half his stack to 560,000. David Hu made the call, Satar Al-Sadoun raised to 2,400,000 and Paul DeGiulio went all in for what he had left.
So much had happened since his raise that Moscati begrudgingly folded his hand in an effort to latter up if someone else was eliminated. Moscati was happy to see Hu put Al-Sadoun and DeGiulio at risk. Al-Sadoun made the call, creating a side pot.
Paul DeGiulio: A♣K♣K♦J♠
Satar Al-Sadoun: A♥A♦10♠3♥
David Hu: 10♥9♥8♣7♣
Hu had taken a calculated risk with his double-suited rundown in an effort to eliminate two players, but more importantly catapult his stack. This was something he discussed with his rail after the hand played out.
The wheel spun 5♠3♦6♦, giving Hu the wrap and plenty of equity. When the K♥ peeled the turn, DeGiulio excitedly got out of his seat to let his rail know he had made top set.
The river bricked the 2♥ and DeGiulio got a full triple, Al-Sadoun scooped the side pot and Hu was left to swallow his previous hopes.
Moscati went on to tell DeGiulio that he had folded a king, making it his only out.
