Vietnam National Cup (9,000,000 VND)

Jeroen Aarts raised to 150,000 from middle position, leaving only two blue chips behind. Krisada Pinthakasetrin called from the big blind.

On the flop of A♠ 6♣ 5♠ , Pinthakasetrin checked the action to Aarts, who went all in for his remaining 10,000 and Pinthakasetrin called.

Krisada Pinthakasetrin: J♠ 8♠

Jeroen Aarts: J♣ 9♠

Aarts picked up the lead with jack-nine but Pinthakasetrin received a flush draw. The Q♣ hit on the turn, changing nothing for both players, and Pinthakasetrin was still looking to spike a spade. Luckily for Pinthakasetrin, the river carried out the T♠ , completing Pinthakasetrin’s flush and leaving Aarts out of the table.

Hoa Nguyen limped in from the small blind and Jeroen Aarts checked from the big blind.

Both saw the flop of 2♥ J♠ 8♥ , and Nguyen checked the action to Aarts, who then bet 35,000. Nguyen dropped in a call.

The T♦ dropped on the turn, where Nguyen checked over again and Aarts sent a bet of 75,000 this time. After thinking for a while, Nguyen tossed her cards into the muck.

With just a handful of big-blinds remaining Hoa Nguyen open jammed from the button. Both blinds called her 54,000. The board was A♠ A♥ 5♦ 7♣ Q♣ and neither player in the blinds had a strong hand so they checked it all the way down.

Hoa Nguyen: K♥ K♠

Jeroen Aarts: K♣ T♣

Do Nhut: T♦ 9♣

Nguyen triples up and stays in the game.
