Segre Doubles Through Chiu

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Lior Segre has climbed back into contention with a timely double-up through chip leader Edwin Chiu.

It was Segre the man in the driver's seat, moving all-in from the button for 2,875,000 in total. After asking for a count, Edwin Chiu slid out the call to put Segre at-risk and the two tabled their cards.

Lior Segre: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Edwin Chiu: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Segre had the best of it, his big slick dominating Chiu's suited ace, though the latter gave him a sweat on the turn with a possible backdoor diamond draw on the {5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} {k-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} runout.

However, Segre's hand held and he doubled to 6.1 million, although Chiu still comfortably holds the lead with a stack of just over 11 million.
