Don Vu

Jay Romano opened to 1,200,000 from under the gun and it folded to Don Vu.

“I’m guaranteed $44,000,” he said after looking at the clock. “I’m all in.”

The rest of the table folded and Romano quickly called.

“Come on hold!” Romano implored.

Romano: 8h8d
Vu: AdJc

Vu needed to catch to stay in the game but the board ran 9h4h2h6d5s to send the starting Day 3 chip leader out in seventh place.

Jeffrey Trudeau

Matt Edge limped from early position and Don Vu followed suit from his direct left. It was on Jeffrey Trudeau in the cutoff and he raised to 1,500,000. The button and blinds folded and it was back on Edge. He jammed for just over 8,000,000 having Vu well covered and Trudeau barely covered. Vu folded. Trudeau called and was at risk.

Trudeau: KcKd
Edge: JcJd

Runout: JhTh5h7s6s
