Vicioso Flops a Boat, Yen Exits
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
On a heads-up turn of 4♣5♠4♥K♠, Joaquin Vicioso checked, Tzu 'Jerry' Yen bet 9,000 and was then raised to 21,000 by Quynh Ho.
Joaquin Vicioso then called while Yen found himself in a pickle. After thinking it over, he decided to throw his hand away and his two opponents went to the river A♦. Vicioso then tossed out his last 10,000 and Ho called to put him at risk.
Vicosio then confidently tabled 5♣5♦ for a flopped full house while Ho was drawing to two outs with his 8♦8♣ but could not get there and Vicosio was awarded the double.
Meanwhile, Yen was kicking himself for folding pocket nines as he would have gotten a double through Ho. Left short, hw was eliminated soon afterward.
