Hand #57: Jin Hwang Doubles Thru Darren Elias

Jin Hwang raises from the cutoff to 525,000, and Darren Elias asks for a count of Hwang’s remaining chips (about 2.4 million behind) before Elias reraises from the button to 1,225,000. Hwang thinks for nearly a minute before he calls.

The flop comes [QcJs5s], Hwang moves all in for 1,665,000, and Elias immediately calls with [AhKs] (ace high with a gutshot straight draw). Hwang claps his hands and flips over [Qs7s] for a pair of queens with a spade flush draw.

The turn card its he [3s], completing Hwang’s flush, but giving Elias outs to a higher flush.

The river card is the [5h], and Jin Hwang wins the pot with a spade flush to double up in chips.
