Vongxaiburana Fills Up For a Massive Double Off Alexander
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of Q♠3♣9♦, George Alexander bet 85,000 from the hijack and Veerachai Vongxaiburana raised to 250,000 in middle position. Alexander called and the 6♥ fell on the turn.
Vongxaiburana then moved all in for 256,000 and Alexander took nearly a minute before calling. He showed A♦K♦J♠10♠7♥ for straight draws, while Vongxaiburana had A♥9♠9♣5♥2♠ for a set of nines.
The river was the 3♥ and Vongxaiburana improved to a full house to double up into chip-lead contention.
"If the board paired on the turn, it would've saved me some money," Alexander said as he handed over the massive pot.
