Lingham is On the Fritz
Level 6
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
In a four-way pot on a board of 2♣8♦4♦, Laszlo Bujtas bet 42,000 from early position and Manuel Fritz called behind him before Vinny Lingham raised all in for around 235,000 from the button.
Jason Koon and Bujtas folded and Fritz called off with a stack of around 150,000.
Manuel Fritz: 9♥9♠
Vinny Lingham: 10♣8♠
Fritz had the better pair, but the board finished out Q♠10♠ to give Lingham the winner and Fritz hit the rail as Koon started singing "V-V-V-Vinny and the Jets."
"I didn't expect him to have an overpair," Lingham said.
"It was barely an overpair," commented Joao Vieira.
"What does GTO say?" Lingham asked as he thought through the hand.
"It says hit that fu**in' river!" laughed Koon.
