Vehvilainen Leaps up the Leaderboard

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We arrived at the table to see the all-in triangle sitting in front of Paul Vehvilainen and the dealer cutting out his stack.

The board read {q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{7-Spades} and there was a whopping 100,000 or more in the pot. Vehvilainen's opponent was Ping San Chan and after getting a count, Chan made the call.

Vehvilainen: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Chan: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Vehvilainen had flopped a monster and Chan was drawing dead. The meaningless {6-Spades} fell on the river and Vehvilainenwas pushed a huge pile of chips.
