Thai Ha Hangs On with Aces
Jason Koon opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Thai Ha three-bet to 24,000 on the button. Aaron Van Blarcum moved all in, totaling 43,000 and Koon called.
Ha pushed over the top and Kiin called for his stack of about 90,000. The three players turned over their hands with Ha having both of his opponents at risk.
Aaron Van Blarcum: [kcqh]
Jason Koon: [ts9s]
Thai Ha: [ahac]
The board rolled out [khth7haskd] and Ha’s boat pulled in the pot. Koon and Blarcum each used their last 100,000 add-on chip to stack back up to starting.
