Vang Crushes Shorty
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 100 ante
Kou Vang opened for 2,600 in middle position and got two callers. The player on the button shoved for 17,500, and Vang reraised to knock out the players behind him.
Vang: 
Button: 
"Sorry, that's a terrible flop for you," the player on the button predicted.
Sure enough, the 
flop gave the button a straight draw.
"An even worse turn," he said excitedly after the dealer burned and turned the 
, which meant the pot would be split if the board paired again.
An 
river meant Vang had the winning two pair, though.
"Chop it up," the player on the button joked as he got out of his seat.
