Tuan Le Binks a Boat

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Tuan Le raised raised from middle position to 3,300 and was called by both Shane Schleger from the small blind and the player in the big blind.

The flop came {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} and both blinds checked to Le who bet 3,800. Schleger folded and the big blind called. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the big blind checked to Le who bet 14,000. The big blind then raised all in and Le called.

Le: {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Big Blind: {a-Spades}{3-Spades}

While Le had flopped a set of fours, the big blind had flopped a straight and Le would need the board to pair to win the hand. Lo and behold, the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river filling Le's boat and giving him the win.

Le now has a much healthier stack of 105,000.
