Chu Goes in the Tank with Aces
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Victor Chu and Roman Emelyanov were heads up in a four-bet pot with around 35,000 in the middle already.
The dealer spread the flop of 9♠6♣2♦ and the action checked to Chu who bet 15,000 in the cutoff. Emelyanov check-raised all in for 46,800 from the big blind and Chu went into the tank. It was nearly three minutes later that Chu finally decided to call and good thing he did.
Roman Emelyanov: J♥J♦
Victor Chu: A♣A♦
Chu was out front with his pocket aces, leaving Emelyanov drawing to just two outs. The 9♦ and 4♠ runout changed nothing and Emelyanov was eliminated late on Day 1a.
