Cowboys Kind To Venhaus

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Kevin Venhaus
Kevin Venhaus

Benjamin Craig was under the gun and pumped it up to 2,500. The player on the button called and then Kevin Venhaus three-bet to 6,200 in the big blind.

"I'm all in," said Craig after confirming the action. His six-figure stack was more than enough to put both players all in, and the player on the button quickly folded before Venhaus wasted no time announcing a call.

Kevin Venhaus: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Benjamin Craig: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Venhaus was way out in front and was able to fade an ace with ease as the runout came {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} to score him the double. His stack was counted to be 30,000 and Craig sent the requisite amount his way.
