Mini Main Event (20,000,000 VND)

Action folded to the blinds when small blind Ferdinand Lu shoved all-in for 320,000 and was immediately challenged by big blind Laurinaitis Vytautas.

Vytautas showed the better ace hand. On the flop, the poker gods gave him the winning hand, throwing in two jacks to give him a set and leave Ferdinand Lu drawing dead.

The turn improved Vytautas to a boat to really stomp on Lu. By the time the river was dealt, Lu was already headed to the payout cage to pick up his consolation.

Ferdinand Lu raised to 250,000 from the cut-off, intentionally leaving a single 5,000 denomination chip behind. Dang Hung Duong made the call on the button. The flop showed 8♥ 7♣ 5♠. Lu checked the option and Duong applied the final pressure of betting for the last 5,000 of Lu. Lu made the call and was drawing to aces and a gut-shot against the pocket jacks of Duong.

The turn landed an ace to give Lu the lead, and threw in a 4 to make it a two-pair, so we could use the term runner-runner.

Lu made a crucial double up while adding a dent to Duong's stack.
