Level 16: 1.5k/3k/500 ante

While the rest of the table was heading for their break, Angel Vu and Richard Leger were playing a huge hand.

Leger limped in early position and there were two callers before it reached Vu who raised it up. Leger was the only one to come along to the flop and they soon had all their chips in the middle with Vu at risk.

Vu was ahead with against and stayed that way through the river.

“I don’t think he limps with Aces, Queens, or Jacks.” Vu explained.

The double through Leger plus the dead money in the pot pushed Vu to 215k, good enough for third position.

Votor Coelho – 374,000
Paul Domb – 223,500
Angel Vu – 215,000
Stuart Greenbaum – 182,000
Stuart Newman – 151,500
Daniel Buzgon – 118,000
Richard Leger – 81,000

End of Level 6:  Blinds 150/300/25 ante

Players in Flight C are on a break at the end of level 6.

Just before the end of the level, three players were all-in pre-flop.  Jorge Hernandez held AQ, seat 5 was ahead with pocket Kings, and seat 2 had pocket 7s.

The board ran out A T T 6 3 and Jorge caught an Ace to triple up.  Seat 5 won a small side pot, and seat 2 was left short-stacked, but no one busted out.

Jorge chipped up to just over 20k, back where he started.  He owns a mechanic shop and lives here in Hollywood, but is originally from Cuba.  He’s been in the US for about 20 years.
