Vieth Scores a Double Knockout with an Unconventional Hand
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
A player had open-raised to 35,000 before Mason Vieth put in a three-bet to 100,000. Darryl Ronconi then four-bet jammed for roughly 200,000 and the initial raiser rejammed for 25,000 more. Vieth called with the covering stack, claiming he would need to get lucky to win.
Darryl Ronconi: A♥K♥
Opponent: K♠Q♠
Mason Vieth: 10♥6♥
Vieth remained alive on the 5♥8♣2♠2♦ runout and the 6♥ river sealed the fate of his two opponents. His pair of sixes eliminated them both from the tournament and Vieth increased his massive stack even more.
