Vaillancourt Doubles Through Rybachenko
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Noah Vaillancourt opened to 24,000 and action quickly folded to Sergey Rybachenko in the blinds. He announced all in and even before he got his chips in, Vaillancourt had already called. Vaillancourt showed his 
first, Rybachenko tabled 
.
The flop was a disaster for Vaillancourt who needed to play catch up from there on out: 
. With the 
on the turn his chances had been reduced to zero and he never saw the 
on the river. Vaillancourt walked away from the table looking pretty tilted. He came back later, counted out the 214,000 he owed Rybachenko and continued with about 355,000 in chips.
