Vasseur Contemplates Folding Kings Before Doubling
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Sylvain Vasseur open-raised in the hijack, and Christian Steinbo three-bet on the button. Vasseur responded with a four-bet to 52,000, after which Steinbo five-bet all in.
Vasseur's stack of 158,500 was covered, and he took some time to think things through. After a minute or so, he called for his tournament life.
Sylvain Vasseur: K♦K♣
Christian Steinbo: A♠Q♥
Vasseur found a set on the K♠5♥A♥ flop, but the J♠ turn kept things exciting. Steinbo did not hit Broadway on the 6♦ river, however, securing Vasseur a double-up.
