Kou Vang Doubles Thru Andres Vasquez
Kou Vang defends out of the small blind and check-calls a bet of 2,500 on the 7♥ 4♦ 2♠ flop against Andres Vasquez. He checks again the T♠ turn and Vasquez bets 5,300. Vang jams for 22,000 and the 2024 WPT Prime Gold Coast runner-up reluctantly calls with the covering stack.
Kou Vang: 6♠ 5♠ Andres Vasquez: 8♣ 8♥
Vasquez is ahead with the pair and blocks the straight outs of Vang, who still spikes exactly that with the 8♦ on the river.
