Calvin Anderson Finds A Way in Epic WPT Prime Championship Hand
At the same time as the WPT World Championship was dealing out sick hands on its feature table, the final table of the WPT Prime Championship was seeing some amazing play of its own. With the $1.3 million first-place prize looming over the final three players, a hand between four-time WSOP bracelet winner and former #1-ranked online pro Calvin Anderson and start-of-day chip leader Jay Liu – a hand that left the crowd, and commentators, stunned.
Anderson and Lu took it to the streets and played an improbable hand that will go down as one of the wildest in the short history of the WPT Prime Championship.

. Anderson looked down at the 
and decided to put in a raise to 10,000,000, and Lu made the quick call.

Lu check-raised to 14,000,000 and after a moment, with just 5-hi, Anderson made the call pushing the pot to 51M in chips.

Anderson went into the tank shuffling his chips and checking out his stack.

Anderson slid out a calling stack and the pot swelled to 89,000,000. Then it happened: the dealer put the

This is the sickest hand, Sleeth said. How did he know?

After that Lu, covering Anderson, moved all-in and Anderson snap-called, tabled his hand, and dragged a pot of more than 190,000,000 in chips.
What just happened? Sleeth continued.
Everybody seems to be in absolute shock, us included, Platt said.
Tournament-defining pot right here, Sleeth added.
