Su Smacks the Flop to Double
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Just a few hands later, Matthew Su three-bet to 15,000 in the hijack and Vamsa Magam moved all in from middle position. Su snap-called.
Matthew Su: K♥K♣
Vamsa Magam: A♣A♠
Su turned over two kings, but he ran right into Magan's aces as Magan was poised to take the big pot until the flop brought K♠8♠3♠, giving Su top set. Magam picked up a flush draw, but he missed the 2♥ turn and J♥ river as Su secured the pot.
The stacks were counted down, and Magam barely had Su's remaining 91,000 covered, leaving him nursing an extreme short stack.
