Chiu Busts O'Kane

Edwin Chiu is currently sitting in the hot seat; after Dean Blatt opened the action from the button Chiu responded with a three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind. After asking Chiu how much he was playing, Blatt made the call and the two went heads-up to a flop of {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{a-Spades}.

Chiu checked it over to Blatt, who took a stab for 130,000. While he didn't look thrilled about it, Chiu slid in the call to keep the pair in action to the {9-Hearts} turn, which was checked by both, as was the {10-Clubs} river and Chiu took the pot with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}, which explained why he looked less than thrilled with the ace on the flop.

The very next hand, it was Chiu the man driving the action with a button raise to 85,000 and a short-stacked Diarmuid O'Kane responded with a shove for the last of his chips. Chiu called immediately and the two tabled their cards.

Diarmuid O'Kane: {a-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Edwin Chiu: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs} and O'Kane shook everyone's hand and said his goodbyes to the table, while Chiu stacked up to 4.3 million.
