Three Monster Hands Results in a Double Up for Au
Level 26
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Steven Au opened to 175,000 in middle position and Alan Goehring just called in the cutoff. Carl Shaw three-bet to 650,000 on the button and the blinds folded. Au four-bet to 1,500,000 only to have Goehring announce all in. Shaw stood up from his chair and had a big decision to make and it took him over two minutes to finally fold. Au flicked in a chip to call off his stack of 3,010,000 and the cards were tabled.
Steven Au: 
Alan Goehring: 
The board ran out 
and Au's aces held on for a big double up. Once the hand was completed and the table was done guessing Shaw's hand, he finally admitted that he folded ace-king.
