Vongxaiburana Saved by an Ace on the River
Level 12
: 1,200/2,400, 0 ante
Florian Strasser raised to 7,000 on the button and Veerachai Vongxaiburana raised the maximum out of the small blind. Strasser matched the 23,400-bet and the rest of the money went in on the 
flop where Vongxaiburana bet 20,500 and called for 42,500 total when Strasser put him at risk.
Vongxaiburana: 
Strasser: 
Strasser flopped two pair and remained ahead after the 
turn to the felt. But the 
river saved Vongxaiburana, giving him the best hand and a double.
