Phung Doubles with Fishhooks
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Thierry Dinael opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Ilan Chicheportiche three-bet to 8,000 from middle position. Viet Phung made the call from the button and Dinael also called.
The flop came A♣2♠J♦. Dinael checked, Chicheportiche bet 19,000, Phung called and Dinael got out of the way.
On the 6♣ turn Chicheportiche checked, Phung moved all in for 75,000 and Chicheportiche made the call with a covering stack.
Viet Phung: J♥J♣
Ilan Chicheportiche: A♠K♦
Chicheportiche had made top pair but was drawing dead on the turn against Phung's set of jacks. The A♦ river gave Phung a full house over his opponent's trip aces and he collected a full double up at the expense of Chicheportiche.
