Vasseur Runs Kings Into Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Thierry Vasseur open raised from late position and picked up calls from the button and small blind before Zhongxian Li made a three-bet. Vasseur quickly moved all in for around 112,000. Li was the only player to make the call.
The two players had very similar stacks, but Vasseur was slightly covered as players turned their cards.
Thierry Vasseur: K♦K♠
Zhongxian Li: A♠A♣
The board ran out 2♣5♠7♥5♥3♠. Vasseur had pocket kings but ran it into aces. Li held to near-double his stack and pull himself up towards the top of the pack. Following a count, Vasseur left the table.
