Vitch Survives All-In
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Christopher Vitch, the returning champion in the event, was one of two players at risk in a three-person pot, putting his last 43,500 chips on the table right after the dinner break.
Esther Taylor: Q♦10♦9♥8♥
Christopher Vitch: A♥K♣10♣3♣
Thanh Tran: A♠K♠Q♣7♠
The board runout 5♦7♣A♣K♦9♣ had Vitch tied with Tran with two pair on the turn, but Taylor had a ton of outs with her double-gutter straight and diamond flush draws. Vitch hit the top straight on the river to get a new lease on his tournament life.
