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.
