Vieth Scores a Double Knockout with an Unconventional Hand
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
A player had open-raised to 35,000 before Mason Vieth put in a three-bet to 100,000. Darryl Ronconi then four-bet jammed for roughly 200,000 and the initial raiser rejammed for 25,000 more. Vieth called with the covering stack, claiming he would need to get lucky to win.
Darryl Ronconi: A?K?
Opponent: K?Q?
Mason Vieth: 10?6?
Vieth remained alive on the 5?8?2?2? runout and the 6? river sealed the fate of his two opponents. His pair of sixes eliminated them both from the tournament and Vieth increased his massive stack even more.
