As the money bubble is slowly approaching now that only 30 players are left in the field, Xiaoming Su just hit the river to make a huge double up against Tu Kham Tran.
With the blinds at 6,000/12,000, Kham had opened for 35,000 only to be met by a shove of 322,000 from Su. After a moment or so of thought, Tran made the call and the hands were opened:
Su:
Tran:
The flop was clean with the hitting the board. The turn was also a blank, however the on the river changed it all and Su had a huge and badly needed double up.
Tran was heard saying “it wouldn’t be as bad if the queen was on the flop, but, on the river?”. Poker can be brutal at times.
Looking over at Tran’s stack, he still seems to be sitting on 1 million plus chips so although the blow hurt, he is still in good shape.
