Chu Doubles to Half a Million

We caught up with the action just as Hai Chu was getting all in for 246,000 against a lone opponent on a {4-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop.

Chu: {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} for an overpair.

The {3-Clubs} turn filled in Chu's straight right away and a meaningless {K-Hearts} completed the board - giving Chu the double up.
