Hu Finds Lady Luck on the River to Survive
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
David Hu's stack has been up and down all day and he got in his last 23,500 preflop with Alexey Mishuk putting him at risk.
David Hu: Q♣Q♠ 
Alexey Mishuk: K♦10♠
Hu went to favorite to double up to the brink of elimination after the 9♥K♠8♣ flop gave Mishuk top pair. An A♣ dropped on the turn where Hu stood up in preparation to depart, but soon sat back down again as the Q♦ river improved him to a set.
