Third Time's the Charm for Vu
Level 3
: 200/300, 300 ante
Timothy Vu is proving to be the king of overbetting in today's event. This time on his third bullet, it worked out well for him.
On a river board of 
, and just 2,000 in the pot, after Steve Westberg checked in the small blind, Vu jammed 24,000 under the gun.
Westberg went into the tank for a couple of minutes before calling.
Vu showed 
for a full house, while Westberg could only show 
for trip tens.
The loss left Westberg on fumes, but he's since doubled up to about 30 big blinds, while Vu now has more than two starting stacks.
