Argyros Doubles Through Chiu
An increasingly lively Billy 'the croc' Argyros will only be getting livelier after scoring a double-up through Edwin Chiu.
Before the hand was dealt Argyros asked Chiu nicely if he could get a double-up and, proving that manners pay off, that's exactly what happened.
It was Rehman Kassam who kicked off the action with a raise to 60,000 from the cutoff and Chiu slid out a stack of dark blue 100k chips for a re-raise of 1 million from the small blind.
Argyros peeked down at his hole cards and called all-in for his tournament life for 515,000 and Kassam took the hint and got out of the way.

"That's good, keep it low," said Argyros, and while the dealer did not quite comply, with the 
turn and 
river, both were safe cards for Argyros and he climbed to 1,090,000 and Chiu was forced to cut a rampart from his chip castle and ship it over to drop to 3,300,000.
