Eleby Doubles Through Bad Boy (1G)

Written by Kyle | Sep 20, 2025 2:43:51 AM

Phu "Bad Boy" Vo is notorious for his loose aggressive action. Players were just talking about that as an all-in hand broke out blind versus blind.

On blinds of 1,500/3,000/3,000, Michael Eleby limped the small blind and Vo quickly raised to 18,000. Eleby went all-in and Vo snapped. Eleby was at risk and began to stand up.

Vo: 8♣8♦
Eleby: J♠T♦
Board: K♠Q♠4♣7♦A♣

Eleby flopped open-ended but it seemed like the eights of Vo were about to hold until the A♣ hit the river. Eleby found the nuts on the river and sat back down.

Eleby: 61,000
