Duan Picks Off Chiu
Level 25
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With over 1.45 million in chips in the pot already on a board reading in a battle of the blinds between Edwin Chiu and Chao Duan, Chiu exerted maximum pressure by moving all-in on the river.
Duan called immediately and from the look on Chiu's face he had just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Chiu tried to muck, but tablemate Dean Blatt pointed out that in an all-in and a call scenario both players have to showdown. Chiu revealed and Duan rolled over for the straight to scoop the massive pot.
