Mr Macau Backs Down
Macau and Melbourne seem to be the usual haunts of Charles Chua, and a pretty good run he's had of late, finishing 3rd in March's $2,500 Main Event at the APPT Macau for almost $100k while in 2008's event he finished second for $291,489. A good warm-up, consistency wise, for the WSOPE, and he's looking for his first cash in this series, or any World Series event for that matter.
A slight setback dropped him under his starting stack just now as he raised Hoi Wing Cheung on a flop of to 8,000 when Cheung bet out 3,000. Cheung tanked for a while, then tanked it in - at which Chua instantly threw his hand away and settled for keeping his 27,075 intact.
