Quang Vu Nearly Triples Up, Doubling Thru Jason Riesenberg and Knocking Out Alfie Poetra

Dec 16, 2024

With the board showing Heart 9Diamond 8Heart 2Diamond 7 on the turn, three players get it all in, with Alfie Poetra as the shortest stack in the cutoff, Quang Vu barely covering him from the button, and Jason Riesenberg (UTG) covering them both as the big stack.

Jason Riesenberg:  Diamond 6Diamond 5  (nine-high straight)
Quang Vu:  Diamond JClub 10  (jack-high straight)
Alfie Poetra:  Spade 9Spade 7  (two pair, nines and sevens)

Poetra needs a nine or a seven to stay alive, but the river card is the Spade 5. Quang Vu wins the entire pot with his jack-high straight to double thru Riesenberg and eliminate Poetra from the tournament.

Quang Vu  –  180,000  (113 bb)
Jason Riesenberg  –  13,000  (8 bb)
Alfie Poetra  –  Eliminated
