Vo Survives on the River
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Umberto Ruggeri bet 3,900 from the hijack on a flop of K♠10♥4♥ and Julien Mariani called in the small blind. Viet Vo then raised to 17,000 in the big blind and Ruggeri called, while Mariani took a minute before folding.
The turn was the 10♣ and Vo put in his last 2,600. Ruggeri called with K♦Q♠ for top pair, while Vo was on a flush draw with J♥2♥. The 9♥ river completed his flush as Ruggeri flung his arms in the air in frustration while Vo yelled out "Vamonos!" and took in the pot.
