Schoonover Tank-Jams Into Vo's Flush

Gary Tomes opened to 6,000 from the hijack and picked up two callers in Dustin Schoonover from the small blind & Viet Vo in the big blind.

The flop fell 3♥A♠8♠ and once it checked to Tomes, he continued for 7,000. Schoonover then check-raised to 17,000, Vo cold-called, and Tomes got out of the way.

A K♠ landed on the turn and Schoonover checked it over to Vo, who bet 34,500. Schoonover had just under 80,000 in his stack and was in the tank for around four minutes while he contemplated how to proceed. He looked like he was going to call, then fold, but eventually decided to shove for 79,500.

"Oh my god, what the hell," said a shocked Vo, who was laughing to himself at the situation.

"All that time in the tank, it's probably going to work for you," he added. Eventually, after spending a few minutes in the tank himself, Vo called.

"Do you have a flush?" asked Schoonover. "Yeah, I got it," replied Vo.

Dustin Schoonover: A♣K♥ All in
Viet Vo: 9♠3♠

Schoonover couldn't believe it and was up and out the door as soon as the 4♠ hit the river. Vo, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief that his flush was good, which brought his stack to around 240,000.

"Nice hand," said one of the table. Vo responded, "Man, I thought he had it. All that tanking was going to work out for him."
