Sanh Vuong

An early position open to 1,000 was called Ty Watson in middle position. Sanh Vuong then three-bet on the button to 4,500, with only Watson coming along to the K♦Q♣Q♠ flop.

Both players checked to see the 7♥ turn, where Watson led out for 1,800. Vuong took a moment before making the call, and Watson checked the J♣ river.

Vuong opted to toss out a bet of 6,000, good enough to claim the pot as Watson sent his cards into the muck.
