Vang Navigates Tricky Spot
Just before the break, a big, four-way hand took place.
A player in middle position opened to 800, two players called, a late position player, and the player in the small blind. Steve Zang saw all the action in front of him and put in the three-bet to 3,100. All three players called to go to a flop four-ways in the swelling pot.
The dealer put out 
. Vang bet 3,700 when checked to, the original opener and the small blind both callled.
On the 
turn, action checked to Vang again. After thinking for quite some time, he decided to check, and the player in position checked as well.
The river fell the 
and action checked to Vang. On the final street, he picked up the betting with a bet of 7,500. Action folded back to the big blind player who moved all in for about 22,000 effective, having Vang slightly covered.
After a tortuous time thinking it through, Vang made the call.
"Good call," said his opponent, who showed 
for the missed flush draw.
Vang showed 
for the overpair.
"I wish you were a better player," said his opponent.
Vang laughed that comment off as the winner of the pot and stacked his new chips.
