Snell Done For Now

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Joe Snell - Vincent Huang
Joe Snell - Vincent Huang

Vincent Huang raised to 2,400 from under the gun and was called by Terence A Clee in the hijack. Joe Snell shoved from the big blind for 16,800 in total and Huang decided to also shove for the 25,000 he had behind. Clee contemplated his options for a while and then decided to make the call.

Joe Snell: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Vincent Huang: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Terence A Clee: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {2-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for Huang to pick up the flush draw but keep Snell ahead of the rest.

The turn brought them the {9-Hearts} for Huang to hit the flush indeed but another heart on the river would give Snell the nut-flush.

The river completed the board with the {6-Spades} for Snell's tournament life to be over for now and for Huang to earn a full double-up through Clee.
