Luu Left Short
Yufei Zhong raised from the cutoff and was three-bet by Denis Nesterenko on the button. Hieu Luu called out of the big blind, as did Zhong.
Luu took two cards on the initial draw while Zhong and Nesterenko both took one. Luu and Zhong checked to Nesterenko, who bet. The two other players made the call to keep action three-handed heading to the second draw.
On the second draw the drawing pattern was the same, with Luu taking two to Zhong and Nesterenko's one. This time action checked through to the third draw.
All players took just one card on the final draw. Luu led out, eliciting a fold from Zhong. Nesterenko pondered for a while before ultimately tossing in calling chips. Luu announced he had deuces and Nesterenko showed down 
, good enough to take the pot and leave Luu short.
