Ernie Hou has had an up and down two days here at the $560 Mega Stack event, taking some of he most brutal beats.
Yesterday, Ernie called a players all in after the turn of a nine high board with J-9. His opponent turned over Q-T and spiked the queen on the river.
He built his stack back up and got another opponent all in with pocket eights against Hou's pocket kings. A king on the flop gave Hou a monster lead. However, his opponent caught runner runner eight eight to make quads.
On the first hand of the day, Hou had yet another opponent all in on a board of K-K-x-x-x. Once again, Hou was on the wrong end as his K-Q lost to his opponent's A-K.
Despite all of those beats, Hou has survived and continues to build his stack with only 60 players remaining.
