Vu Makes Huge Call to Take Chip Lead
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Timothy Vu had made it 12,000 to go preflop and Alexander Nurding called to see a flop of 3♣5♦5♠. Vu continued for 15,000 and Nurding called again to go to the 7♥ turn.
Vu bet 35,000 and Nurding called once more to see the river fall the A♦. Vu then cut out a hefty bet of 100,000 and set it in the middle, but Nurding moved all in to cover.
Vu then went deep into the tank for this decision, and after several long minutes, he finally made the call. The hand that Nurding held was missed but Vu tabled A♥Q♠ for a rivered ace to take down the biggest pot of the night, vaulting him into the chip lead.
