Short-Stacked Vitch Triples; Bruschi Survives All-In
Pot-Limit Omaha
Renan Bruschi raised to 30,000 under the gun and was met with a call from Allan le in the hijack, followed by an all-in from Christopher Vitch, who had just 12,000 left. Ian Steinman also called in the big blind.
The flop came 8?2?4?, and after a check from Steinman, Bruschi potted it for 120,000, leaving 58,000 behind.
Le folded but after a bit of thought, Steinman raised to put Bruschi all in, and he called to become the second player at risk in the hand.
Christopher Vitch: A?A?6?5?
Renan Bruschi: K?K?9?3?
Ian Steinman: J?8?6?5?
Vitch's aces were ahead for the main pot while Bruschi's kings led for the side pot. They'd both need to fade Steinman's flush and straight draws.
The board completed with the 9? and A?, giving Vitch a triple-up with his set of aces, while Bruschi survived taking the side pot with his kings.
