Not Luong for This World?

Gioi Luong is on life support after taking a hit in a hand against Shun Uchida. Uchida raised from the small blind pre-draw and Luong reraised. Uchida called.

Both players drew one card and checked on the first draw, then drew one card and checked on the second draw. On the third draw, Uchida drew one again while Luong stayed pat. After squeezing his cards, Uchida bet. It was a great bet, since Luong was most likely pat with a rough nine or ten and had to wonder whether Uchida was making a play at the pot. Luong elected to call and found out it wasn't a play at all -- Uchida had made 8-7-5-4-2.

After the hand, Luong's stack dipped to just 93,000.
