Anthony Hu

Duff Charette raised all in for 770,000 from the button and Anthony Hu thought for a few moments before he called from the big blind.

Charette:  Ad8d
Hu:  KsQc

The board ran out 4h6d8h4s2h, giving Charette eights and fours to double through Hu.

Duff Charette  –  1,630,000  (27 bb)
Anthony Hu  –  150,000 (2.5 bb)

The next hand, Martin Stausholm raised to 125,000 from the button, Hu committed his remaining 150,000 from the small blind, Charette called from the big blind and Stausholm called.

They checked to the turn of an Ad10sAhQd board where Charette check-called 100,000 from Stausholm.

The river was the 10h, Charette checked, Stausholm bet 150,000 and Charette folded.

Stausholm tabled KsJd for an ace-high straight, besting Hu’s Qs7c to eliminate Hu in third place.
