Vos Soars to 30K

Mark Vos -- perhaps aided a bit by all of the liquid courage he's downed since the start of play -- has recently shot up to ~30,000 in chips, the result of a pair of back-to-back hands.

In the first hand, Vos made it 600 to go before the flop from middle position and his bet received three callers. The flop came {7-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {2-Spades} and the action checked around to Vos who bet 2,200. A player seated in the hijack position made the call and all others folded, sending the action heads up to the turn: {Q-Spades}. Vos then led out with a 5,500 bet which was enough to put his opponent all in. A call was made and a showdown ensued:

Vos: {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}

The {A-Clubs} was the last card off the deck and Vos' single pair of queens held up to earn him the pot and ~20,000 in chips.

One hand later, Vos picked up pocket aces and used them to add another 12,000 or so to his stack, bringing him to right around 32,000 in chips.
