Vang Scoops Biggest Pot of Tournament
Level 18
: 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Allen Lanier opened for 37,000 in early position and found two callers: Kou Vang on the button and Charlie Sizemore in the big blind.
After the 
flop, action checked to Vang, who bet 49,000. Sizemore shoved all in for 170,000 total, and Lanier contemplated for a bit before calling. Vang then shipped all in for 401,000 more, and Lanier tanked for a couple of minutes before sliding forward calling chips once more.
Lanier: 
Vang: 
Sizemore: 
Vang's set was leading, but Lanier still had outs with his open-ender. A 
turn opened the door for Sizemore to grab the pot if the river was a heart, but the 
bricked off for everyone, and Vang became the first player to reach seven figures.
