Butteroni Busts Defending Champion Vijayaram
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
On the turn of a board 
, defending champion Shane Vijayaram faced a bet of 3,100 and elected to fold, leaving himself with 15,000 behind.
Only a few hands later, Vijayaram limped from under the gun and Federico Butteroni raised to 1,600. The big blind called and Vijayaram moved all in for 14,975, which Butteroni called and forced out the big blind.
Shane Vijayaram: 
Federico Butteroni: 
The 
flop gave Vijayaram some hope with running clubs, while the 
on the turn also enabled a possible split pot via straight on the board. However, it wasn't meant to be this time around for Vijayaram as the 
on the river was a blank and even improved Butteroni to a set.
