Vu Truong Leaves James Wilson Crippled

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a board reading {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, James Wilson checked, and Vu Truong shoved all in.

Wilson asked for a count and upon hearing the total of 18,000, he went into the tank. After a few minutes of thinking it over, Wilson moved his stack of chips forward to make the call.

Truong: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Wilson: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The {9-Clubs} river did not improve Wilson's hand and he was left with less than 1,000 in chips.

Marc Powers
Marc Powers

Marc Powers recently bought in and is off to a great start.

On a {4-Hearts}{5-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, a player in later position was all in and Powers had called.

Powers: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {j-Spades}{7-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds} turn and {6-Clubs} river do not improve his opponent's hand, and Marc Powers will nearly double after eliminating the other player.
