Chau Sucks Out on Alcorn
Lee Chau opened to 16,000 from early position and received calls from Heather Alcorn on the button and a player in the big blind.
The flop came 7?6?3?. The big blind led out for 20,000 and received calls from both Chau and Alcorn.
The big blind opted to check on the 8? turn. Chau moved all in for his last 102,000 and Alcorn raised all in with a covering stack. The big blind got out of the way leaving Alcorn and Chau heads up going into the river.
Lee Chau: K?5?
Heather Alcorn: 9?8?
Chau was drawing thin on the turn with only a four, nine or king as possible outs against Alcorn's top pair and straight draw. He got exactly what he needed on the 4? river, giving him an eight-high straight to secure a full double up, leaving Alcorn with just under 30 big blinds.
