Hou Dodges a Board Pair
Level 13
: 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A player opened for 5,000 under the gun and Brian Hou called in middle position. Someone in middle position put his last 5,000 in, and the big blind called. The under-the-gun player continued for 10,000 on the 
flop, and only Hou called. The under-the-gun player announced all in on the 
turn, and Hou snap-called and tabled 
for the nuts.
He still had cards to fade as the under-the-gun player had 
for a set. The other player was dead with 
. The 
river changed nothing, and Hou got a full double for 56,000.
