David Hu Eliminated in 2nd Place ($106,138)
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
David Hu raised from the button to 1,500,000 and Thomas Skaggs called to see the 9?2?3? flop.
Skaggs checked, and Hu bet out 3,500,000. Skaggs paused before he announced pot, totaling a 14,000,000 chip raise. Hu called off his stack, and both players were headed to a runout with Hu at risk and a bracelet on the line.
David Hu: A?A?Q?4?
Thomas Skaggs: 9?8?5?4?
Hu was ahead but had a lot of outs to dodge, and when the 9? hit the turn, Hu was suddenly second best headed to the river.
The K? offered no improvement for Hu, leaving him with no option but to exit the tournament area in second place for $106,138.
