Co Doubles And Decimates

Level 23: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Eugene Co

Jinlong Hu raised to 200,000 frmo the hi-jack when Eugene Co shoved all-in for 280,000 from the cut-off. Hu added the required change for a showdown.

The board ran clean for Co and his tens went on to double him up. Meanwhile, the once chip leader Jinlong Hu was left with a very desperate and critical stack.

Hu...What Happened??!??

Level 22: 10,000 / 15,000 ante: 15,000

SMP wasn't around when Jinlong Hu gave up the chip lead to Hoai Phong Ngo, but according to Hu's painful recollection...

Hu held pocket queens and flopped a seat. Ngo sat on A♣ T♣ for a nut-flush draw that came on the turn and book the win for Ngo and crippling Hu's chip leader stack to below average.

So far, this was the biggest pot.

Hu's Ladies Bring Chip Lead

Level 21: 6,000 / 12,000 ante: 12,000

Jinlong Hu raised to 25,000 from UTG+2 with the button calling. Big blind Duc Hieu Do three-bet to 100,000 with Hu four-betting to 200,000. The button stepped down and Do jammed his last 266,000 chips in the middle. Hu called for a big action showdown.

Hu showed ladies while Do showed fish hooks. The dominating queens stayed true to its course and removed Do from his seat while awarding the pot to Hu to take the event's chip leader throne.

Viet Dang Nguyen Doubles With Sailboats

Level 17: 3,000 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Jinlong Hu

Both Jinlong Hu and Viet Dang Nguyen had their chips in the middle with Nguyen at risk of elimination with his 59,000 stack covered.

Hu needed a queen, but no lady came to the rescue. Nguyen's sailboats were enough to book the win and walk away with a huge pot to recover from the bottom of the chip count list.
