Short-Stacked Vitch Triples; Bruschi Survives All-In
Pot-Limit Omaha
Renan Bruschi raised to 30,000 under the gun and was met with a call from Allan le in the hijack, followed by an all-in from Christopher Vitch, who had just 12,000 left. Ian Steinman also called in the big blind.
The flop came 8♣2♦4♣, and after a check from Steinman, Bruschi potted it for 120,000, leaving 58,000 behind.
Le folded but after a bit of thought, Steinman raised to put Bruschi all in, and he called to become the second player at risk in the hand.
Christopher Vitch: A♥A♦6♦5♦
Renan Bruschi: K♠K♣9♦3♠
Ian Steinman: J♣8♦6♠5♣
Vitch's aces were ahead for the main pot while Bruschi's kings led for the side pot. They'd both need to fade Steinman's flush and straight draws.
The board completed with the 9♥ and A♠, giving Vitch a triple-up with his set of aces, while Bruschi survived taking the side pot with his kings.
