Thang Luu has just stormed back up the leaderboard in the past few minutes. On a recent hand, the board read and Luu bet into Jordan Rich. The pot was very large and after tanking for a few moments, Rich made the call. Luu showed Rich the nut full house with two kings in his hand and moved up to a whopping 270,000 after just recently having below the 100,000-chip mark.
Can Luu repeat his performance from last year? Can he go wire to wire for a second gold bracelet? Only time will tell.
