Tuan Le Wins Back-to-Back Pots

Tuan Le
Tuan Le
In the first hand, Tuan Le limped in from under the gun. Dario Minieri raised from middle position to 4,500. Action folded back to Le and he made the call.

Both players took the flop of {5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Le checked. Minieri fired out a bet of 6,500. Le raised to 16,500 and Minieri wasted little time in reraising all in. Le made the call.

Le: 3-3
Minieri: K-K

The turn was the {7-Spades}, giving Le a straight. The river was the {A-Diamonds} and Le was able to take a big pot from Minieri.

In the very next hand, Tuan bet 10,000 on the turn after his opponent checked a board that read {7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. His opponent called. The river was the {K-Spades} and Le's opponent checked again.

This time, Tuan bet 40,000 to put his opponent all in. His opponent called and Le turned over the {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for two pair. His opponent mucked and was sent to the rail.

Tuan Le has increased his chip stack to over 100,000 in just a couple of hands after the dinner break.
