Vongxaiburana Scoops a Massive Pot
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Veerachai Vongxaiburana and Phil Hui went to the turn on a board of 9♠7♥5♠8♦ where Vongxaiburana bet 500,000 from the big blind. Hui then raised to 2,000,000 and Vongxaiburana called.
The river was the 6♣ and Vongxaiburana bet another 800,000. Hui announced pot and Vongxaiburana snap-called.
Hui showed 7♦7♠5♦4♣2♠ for a straight and low, but Vongxaiburana had A♦Q♦10♣8♣2♦ for a ten-high straight and nut low to scoop the pot. It took a few minutes to figure out how much was in the pot, and it was eventually ruled that Hui owed 7,300,000.
