Ace from Space for Vaum
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Caesar Hinojosa opened for 16,000 on the button and then Steven Vaum moved all in for 159,000 from the small blind. The action was then on Viet Vo in the big blind who went into the tank. After around 30 seconds he sighed and tossed in his hand as Hinojosa called to put Vaum at risk.
"I just folded ace-queen," Vo admitted.
"Oh damn, that's one of my outs!" Hinojosa said as he tabled Q♦Q♥, but he was actually ahead as Vaum tabled A♠9♥ for just ace-high.
Unfortunately for Hinojosa, the runout came 2♦7♥8♦4♣A♥ to give Vaum the saving ace on the river to win him the large pot.
"Ugh, if I wasn't such a nit that would have been a triple for me!" Vo kicked himself for folding .
