Puia Runs Out of Chips


Eddie Puia defended his big blind against a raise to 40,000 by Toby Lewis and checked the flop. Lewis checked back and then bet the
turn for 50,000 after another check by Puia, forcing a fold.
Puia limped the small blind the next hand, Lewis moved all in and forced another fold.
Shortly after, Vincent Chua raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Puia moved all in from the button. Chua asked for a count and the all in was for 158,000 in total, which Chua called.

Vincent Chua:
While the door card was the to give Puia a pair, it was followed by the
and Chua had flopped the nut straight. Only an ace or running cards would avoid the elimination of Puia, and the
turn and
river bricked off. Puia receives A$40,000 for his efforts and the next table will now break to continue with four six-handed tables shortly.
