Vamplew Starts To Rebuild

David Vamplew didn't start Day 3 too brightly but he is back doing what he does best — accumulating chips.

The action folded around the former EPT London champion and he min-raised, as most players do nowadays, to 6,000. This bet was called in two spots, first Alexander Khizhnyak called on the button and Carmelo Carlo Graziano felt compelled to put in the extra 3,000 from the big blind.

A flop reading {5-Hearts} {8-Spades} {J-Clubs} was greeted with a check from Graziano, a continuation bet of 9,500 from Vamplew and a quick fold from the Russian on the button, but Graziano was having a good, long think about what was the best course of action to take. You see, the Italian only had 31,700 chips behind so if he was calling he was going to be committed to the hand. He eventually realised this and let his hand go.
