Luu Has a Hand, but It's No Good

Hyper-aggressive Hieu Luu is difficult to put on a hand. Marc McLaughlin didn't have to worry about that when he open-shoved from the cutoff for 1.15 million. Luu called with Big Slick, {A-Hearts} {K-Spades}; McLaughlin had two live cards, {10-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}.

You know how this one goes. McLaughlin paired deuces on the {2-Spades} {4-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} flop, then hung on through the {8-Spades} turn and {7-Hearts} river. After the pot was pushed to him, he began to profusely and repeatedly thank Doyle Brunson, who won back-to-back Main Event championships with the ten-deuce.

Luu is down to 1.15 million.
