Hu Doubles Right Away
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
David Hu started heads-up at quite the chip disadvantage, so it didn't take long for Thomas Skaggs to put him at risk.
David Hu: Q?9?7?7?
Thomas Skaggs: Q?6?5?3?
Hu didn't have high hopes for his pair of sevens, but when Skaggs turned up rags sharing the queen and the nine, Hu was in about as good of shape as he could have hoped.
The board ran out 8?8?K?J?A? and Hu's sevens remained good.
Hu then went on to win a couple more small pots, closing the distance between him and his opponent.
