Big Turn Around For Hua, Self Hurting

Wes Self raised under the gun to 40,000, Can Kim Hua called from the button and Gavin Griffin called from the big blind. The flop came down {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and both Griffin and Hua called Self's bet. The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Griffin checked again. Self bet 40,000, Hua raised to 80,000 and Griffin folded. Self put it 120,000 and Hua went all in for 122,000 total. Self made the call for just two extra yellow chips giving us an all-in showdown.

Self showed {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts} and he was up against {A-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}. One player called for a deuce and shortly after the {2-Spades} popped up. This gave Hua the nut low as well and since he had a straight for the high he took three quarters of the pot. Self was gutted and stared down at his diminished stack that's in dire need of a double up now.

A few hands later Hua continued his run and he started by raising under the gun to 40,000. It got folded to Tapscott to three-bet from the big blind to 60,000. After Hua called the flop brought out {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Tapscott bet, Hua called. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and this time Hua called the 40,000 chip bet. On the river the {J-Spades} hit and Tapscott threw out another 40,000. Hua tanked for a bit and made it 80,000 which got Tapscott thinking. After a solid minute he released and Hua is now back up to 400,000 while Tapscott is still doing great with just under 500,000 chips.
