Wu's Turn Move Pays Off
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andrew Wu limped the K♦J♣ and Lucas Pochat raised to 32,000 with the K♠Q♥, earning calls from Shota Nakanishi with the 6♠6♥, Donald Crabtree with the A♣Q♠ on the button and Wu.
The 9♥8♠4♣ flop was checked and Wu then bet the 8♦ turn for 92,000 after plenty of consideration. Only Nakanishi called to see the J♦ on the river as Wu took the lead and checked. Nakanishi bet 235,000 and Wu cut out the chips for the call before double-checking his cards.
In table chat, he pondered whether or not Nakanishi had an eight and engaged in table chat with his opponent. Wu tank-called and was delighted to win the large pot, declaring "you scared me to death".
