Hand 28 Forward - This Could be It

hand 28

SBB Paul. He calls. Tuan moves all in. Paul folds. Pretty soon we'll be back in the situation where Paul's only move is to move all-in. He doesn't seem to have a betting strategy to contend with Tuan's bob-and-weave

hand 29

SBB Tuan, an unraised pot. Q 5 4, two diamonds, check, check. Turn is another queen. River is a 3d. Paul wins the pot with queens and fours.

hand 30

SBB Paul. Paul raises 2M. Tuan calls. Flop comes Kh 4c 8d. Tuan checks. Paul moves all in. Tuan folds. Next case

hand 31

SBB Tuan. There's a dizzying sameness to the action now, or maybe that's just the annoying disco-light lighting scheme the WPT insists on using for its set. Tuan raises 1.6M. Paul folds.

hand 32

SBB Paul. Not that anybody cares, but I've been typing so long I think I feel carpal tunnel setting in. Unraised pot. K-Q-Q, two clubs. Tuan checks. Paul bets 2M. Tuan raises 3M more. Paul goes all in. Tuan calls. One way or another, this will be it

K-3s for Paul
8-5c for Tuan. He needs a club to win.

Turn is the 5 of spades. It's small help to Taun, giving him two extra outs.

River is another king. Geez, we haven't seen a king on the river for a while, have we?
