Ngoc Thai Huynh Knocks Out a Short Stack

Feb 16, 2025

The player in the big blind starts the hand with just 700 in chips, forced all in for the big blind of 600 with the remaining 100 going toward the ante.

Kolja Lucking limps from the button for 600, and Ngoc Thai Huynh completes the small blind.

Any further betting will create a side pot, but both players check to the river on a board of Diamond ASpade KHeart KDiamond 10Spade 10.

The big blind shows Heart AHeart 2 for a flopped two pair, aces and kings, to beat the two pair on the board. Lucking mucks, but Huynh turns over Heart 10Spade 6 to win the pot with a full house, tens full of kings. The player in the big blind is eliminated.

Ngoc Thai Huynh  –  70,000  (117 bb)
Kolja Lucking  –  69,000  (115 bb)
