Phua Decimates Vaysman; Winter Takes the Rest
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
In a preflop confrontation Tzai Wei Phua was all in from the big blind for 1,120,000 and up against Justin Vaysman who covered him from the cutoff.
Tzai Wei Phua: K♠K♣
Justin Vaysman: 10♥10♦
Phua's kings stayed in front on the Q♠J♥4♠6♠9♣ runout to double up through Vaysman, who was left with just 55,000 chips.
A couple hands later Vaysman shoved his remaining stack from under the gun and Sean Winter called from the big blind to put him at risk.
Justin Vaysman: 8♦7♥
Sean Winter: J♣9♣
Vaysman was a big favorite with top two pair on the 3♠7♦8♣ flop but the rest of the board ran out 5♦6♥ giving Winter a nine-high straight to eliminate Vaysman.
