Re: WPT Championship Live Updates

Nooooooooooooooooo

Gus Hansen has the button, he raises to 750,000, and Chiu calls. The flop comes A108, Chiu checks, Hansen bets 900,000, and Chiu calls. There is already 3.35 million in the pot.

The turn card is the 5, Chiu bets 1.2 million, and Hansen thinks for about 30 seconds before he moves all in for 8,675,000. After nearly two minutes of counting out his own chips, Chiu says, "I call."

The crowd leaps to their feet, waiting to see their cards. Gus Hansen shows 108 for two pair, while David Chiu shows A9 for a pair of aces with a flush draw. Chiu needs an ace, a nine, a five, or any spade to win the tournament right here.

The river card is -- the A!

The crowd cheers in surprise as David Chiu leaps in celebration, and quickly gets his hand on a Chinese flag that he waves near the table.

After the initial excitement of the hand wears off, the audience stands in stunned silence. Gus Hansen walks over to David Chiu as if he is in a daze.
Gus Hansen finishes in second place, earning $1,714,800. He'll have to wait for his fourth WPT title.

David Chiu defies the odds and the early momentum of Gus Hansen to win the Season III WPT World Championship, earning $3,389,140, two bracelets (one from Bellagio, one from WPT), a trophy. That prize also includes his entry into next season's WPT World Championship.
