Paul Vang started the bidding with an open to 3,000 on the button. Thomas Morris was in the mood to put more chips in the pot as he chose to three-bet to 10,000 from the big blind. Vang did not take it lying down as he chose to four-bet all-in for 26,200. Morris quickly called to put Vang at risk.
Paul Vang: A♥K♥
Thomas Morris: K♠K♣
Vang was in trouble as he was directly drawing to an ace as they went to a runout. Morris was poised for a knockout with his cowboys.
The 5♥A♣4♥ flop was a beauty for Vang as he flopped a flush draw to go with his outs to an ace.
Vang would discover even more outs on the 10♠ turn as he gained a gutshot straight draw with the river to come.
The J♠ was one of Vang's outs as he managed to evade the knockout and score a double-up instead against Morris.
