Hook Knocks the Wind Out of Vaskaboinikau
Level 17
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Charles Hook jammed for 2,850,000 from the hijack and was snap-called by Mikalai Vaskaboinikau from the big blind.
Charles Hook: K?K?
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: A?A?
It was the ultimate cooler and Hook had one foot out of the door until the K?J?8? put him ahead of the pocket rockets.
Vaskaboinikau was sickened, puffing out his cheeks after falling behind in a huge spot.
The 2? turn kept Hook ahead and the 7? river confirmed his double up.
"I got lucky there," said Hook in a hushed voice.
