Thanh Van Phu Out in 40th Place (CAD $10,210)

Three players see a flop of Q53 and Thanh Van Phu checks in the big blind. Erik Cajelais bets 24,000 from the hijack, and Maximillian Droege calls from the button.

Van Phu check-raises to 60,000, prompting Cajelais to quickly get out of the way. Droege thinks for a spell before announcing he is all in, having Van Phu’s remaining 210,000 or so covered. Van Phu calls with Q7 for top pair. Droege proudly turns over 55 for a set of fives.

That set improves to quads with the 5 on the turn and, with the A on the river, Van Phu is eliminated.

Maximillian Droege – 535,000 (67 bb)
