Thinh Hits River, Doubles Through Yekell
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 0 ante
Chu Thinh opened with a raise to 20,000 from the cutoff and was called by the player sitting on the button and Neil Yekell from the big blind.
Yekell bet 20,000 after a 
flop and Thinh jammed for 78,000, the button player folded while Yekell called.
Thinh 
flopped an open-ended straight but was far behind the flopped set of Yekell 
.
The 
on the turn was no help for Thinh and he needed to hit the river to stay alive.
The 
on the river was one of those outs and Thinh doubled up.
