Level 19: Blinds 3,000/6,000/1,000 ante

Not content with just cracking the Kings of Antonio Colon, Angel Vu tried a different path just a few hands later.

Daren Stabinski raised from the button with Colon and Vu coming along to the flop. Colon tossed out a 20,000 bet and was called by Vu before Stabinski let his hand go. Colon fired out on the turn to get another call and he repeated it with a 45,000 bet on river.

This time Vu didn’t just call, she pushed all-in and it was Colon’s turn to call.

“Full house,” Vu said quietly, rolling over for the flopped trips and rivered boat.

Colon tabled to show the pain. Vu is still “short” in relation to the table, not the blinds, but sitting behind 230,000.

As one of the few players at the final table with big results in short-handed tournaments, Jeffrey Trudeau had to be one of the favorites.
