Counterfeit Cripples Vu’s Pocket Fives

Level 9: 500 / 1,000 ante: 1,000

On the button, Do Tien Vu shoved all-in for 13,400 after Huynh Ngoc Thai opened to 2,000 from middle position. Thai called, putting Vu at risk.


Do Tien Vu: 5 5


Huynh Ngoc Thai: A Q


Vu’s pocket fives looked good until the board ran out 6 6 9 7 9, counterfeiting his hand. With two pairs on the board, Thai's ace kicker played, winning the pot and sending Vu to the rail.
