Vieira Scoops a Big One Before the Break

Level 5 : 200/500, 500 ante

As the clock was winding down to another break, Joao Vieira and Aviv Meiri were involved in a fairly large pot. There was around 22,000 in the middle on a board reading {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Vieira led out for 12,500 in the small blind. Meiri called from middle position and the {6-Diamonds} hit the river.

Vieira didn't seem to be worried about the third diamond on the river as he fired another bet of 17,000. Meiri used up a time extension before making the call. Vieira turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for a set of queens and Meiri put his cards in the muck.

The players are taking their last 20-minute break before returning for the last three levels of the night.
