Tai Vo Spikes a Five to Take the Chip Lead; Normand and Ho Exit

Kirk Brown

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After an open from Derek Normand, Jamie Ho moved all in for 85,000, Tai Vo called, and then Normand moved all in for much more.

Vo quickly called and the three players tabled their hands, with Normand covering.

Jamie Ho: 10♣10♠
Tai Vo: 5♣5♦
Derek Normand: K♥K♠

Normand was in a great position to take the chip lead in this massive pot, but fate had other plans as the flop came out 9♥7♦5♥ to immediately give Vo the lead with a set of fives. The turn 8♦ gave Ho some outs as he picked up an open-ended straight draw, but the river 8♠ improved Vo to a full house and he scooped the huge pot.

Ho was sent to the rail and Normand was left short, finding the exit soon after.
