Vu Vanquished

Event 1: $350 + $50 DS NL (2 re-entry)             

With 9 tables remaining, they went from 10-handed play down to 9-handed play as players busted out.

Playing 4k/8k blinds with 500 antes:

After Jim Hayduk (Johnstown, PA) limped in the middle, Thai Vu raised to 65k from the small blind.  Jim called the raise and the flop came 7 5 4.  All the chips went in the middle and Jim showed pocket 4s for the set.  Thai held K6 suited and had flopped an open-ended straight-draw.  The last two cards came Q J and changed nothing.

The stacks were close and had to be counted down.  Jim doubled up and Thai was left with only 10k (two gray chips).  He busted out soon after.

77 players remain and the bubble looms.
