Dinh Soikes an Ace to Stay Alive
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Thai Dinh raised from under the gun to 110,000 only to be three-bet by Matthew Raffoul in early position to 300,000. Action folded back around to Dinh, who four-bet to 600,000, leaving himself just 145,000 behind. Raffoul then five-bet jammed all in, and he had Dinh covered. Dinh snap called.
Thai Dinh: A♠Q♠
Matthew Raffoul: Q♦Q♣
The flop came J♠A♦2♠ to send Dinh into the lead, and when the 10♠ fell on the turn and 5♣ bricked on the river, he was pushed the pot and a full double up and more.
