Haong Survives Against Tomkins
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Binh Hoang shoved for his final 12,800 from the hijack before Douglas Tomkins made the call from the small blind to put Hoang at risk.
Binh Hoang: 5♠5♣
Douglas Tomkins: A♠K♠
Hoang held the slight edge preflop, but all Tomkins needed was a king or an ace to leap into the lead.
The 4♦10♠Q♥ flop gave Tomkins some additional outs, as a jack would now give him the best hand with a straight.
Tomkins gained some counterfeit outs on the Q♣ turn, as now a ten would give Tomkins the best hand.
Hoang dodged everything when the 4♥ peeled on the river to keep his pocket fives ahead and secure the double-up.
