Big Stax 300 (Day 3): "Hu"-ge Pot

Level 25 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 24

Action would fold around to Stephen Press on the button, who would open the pot to 105,000.  The small blind would fold and Horatio Hu would three-bet from the big blind to 225,000, with Press calling.  The flop would come out A♦ 5♣ 5♥ and Hu would check-call Press's 200,000 flop bet.  Hu would check once again after the 8♠ on the turn, with Press now firing 525,000.  Horatio's line would change though, as check-jammed, getting called immediately by Press.  Hu would be in dire straights as his K♠ K♣ was drawing to two outs against the Q♥ 5♦ of Press.  With the board pairing on the river with an 8, Hu would be eliminated in 25th place ($2,618), while Press would chip up to just under 7,000,000.
