Hammers Hands Vang a Beat

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Tom Hammers got lucky.
Tom Hammers got lucky.

We found Kou Vang with 2,200 in front of him in the cutoff, facing a reraise to 9,800 from the big blind and a shove for 11,950 from Tom Hammers, who had limped from middle position according to Jason Seitz. Vang shoved all in, and the big blind quickly folded.

Vang: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Hammers: {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

"Good luck," Hammers said with a laugh, clearly expecting to be out of the tournament. The {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop gave him some equity with a flush draw though, and he got there on the {8-Clubs} turn. Vang could still eliminate Hammers if the river brought a club or a pair on board, but a {10-Hearts} was a blank.
