Macau is the new Vegas!

Hitting a one-outer on the turn to win $2.6 million (yes, US dollars!)? - That's the stories that poker is made of.

Hand of the Day:
Last night all the regular high roller Chinese guys were playing..along with World Champion Chau Giang. (Durr and Phil were taking a nap and getting some rest)

How it went down:
Blinds: $10,000, $20,000HKD blinds, $10,000 Ante/person

There was a straddle of $40,000 HKD.
Chinese guy: bumps it up to $100,000HKD (with Ace, Jack)
Chau Giang: raises to $500,000HKD (with Ace, Ace)
Chinese guy: calls ....(everyone else folds) it's now heads up

Flop comes out: J, J, 10
Chau Giang: Checks (two pair, aces and jacks)
Chinese guy: bets $1.2 million (with trip Jack's, ace kicker)
Chau Giang: Calls

Turn: Ace ( WOW, Chau Giang has now made a Full house Aces over Jacks....While Chinese Guy has Full house Jacks over Aces)
Chau Giang: first to act ....Checks!
Chinese guy: pushes All IN ...around $9 Million HKD
Chau Giang: Calls

River comes a 3:
Chau Giang takes down the over $20 Million HKD POT!!!!!!!

Good grief!

See the thing is, a fish at my level would have J2o and I'd never, ever hit it. Sigh, nh. :)

Wasn't it a one-outer? AA vs AJ on JJx needs the ONE remaining Ace in the deck...

Sure - it's a one-outer, thanks! :)

(edited in first post)


would have been epic if the chinsese guy would have hit the J on the river :)

This is what i thought fistly...standard...


So this guy pushed all in for twice the pot lmao.. all this talk about them not being fish is complete nonsense i believe.. probably just to keep these donkeys playing.

He didn't luckbox a $2.6M pot since he'd never had made that call i assume if he hadn't hit his ace. I don't see how Dwan and Ivey can even sleep when the best cash games in years maybe even in their life time are running (although Andy Beal probably not too far behind)

i don't see why you'd call it a one-outer, as if it were a bad beat or something. it's not like chau would have play it the same if he hadn't hit the ace
