Wu's Turn Move Pays Off
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Andrew Wu limped the K?J? and Lucas Pochat raised to 32,000 with the K?Q?, earning calls from Shota Nakanishi with the 6?6?, Donald Crabtree with the A?Q? on the button and Wu.
The 9?8?4? flop was checked and Wu then bet the 8? turn for 92,000 after plenty of consideration. Only Nakanishi called to see the J? on the river as Wu took the lead and checked. Nakanishi bet 235,000 and Wu cut out the chips for the call before double-checking his cards.
In table chat, he pondered whether or not Nakanishi had an eight and engaged in table chat with his opponent. Wu tank-called and was delighted to win the large pot, declaring "you scared me to death".
