Fading "Runner-Runner"

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Kou Vang led out for 3,000 on a flop of {9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, and Frank Aquino raised to 9,000. Vang tanked for quite some time before raising to 24,000, which was enough to put Aquino all in, and the Greenville, South Carolina native called.

Aquino: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Vang: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

"I need to fade runner-runner," Aquino announced.

In truth, all Vang needed was a club to eliminate Aquino. The turn brought the {2-Diamonds}.

"No four!" Aquino pleaded. "No four!"

The river was black, and it was two-sided, but the {5-Spades} was a brick. Aquino doubled to around 47,000, while Vang is floating around the starting stack of 20,000.
