Van Syckle Puts Vang To the Test; Chip Counts from Table 1
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Bob Van Syckle was in the cutoff and saw action folded to him. He opened to 25,000 and the next two players folded before Kou Vang defended his big blind.
Both players checked the flop 
to put the 
on board. Vang fired out 45,000 and Van Syckle announced he was all in, putting Vang to a decision for the rest of his chips.
Vang thought a couple of seconds and then let his hand go, resulting in the pot being shipped to Van Syckle to put him above an average chip stack with 23 players remaining and less than 10 minutes left in Level 19.
