Glantz Chases Vedes, Runs into Kings

Tommy Vedes
Tommy Vedes
A recent hand on Table 11 had the makings of a tournament-changing pot. Bolivar Palacios started things off by raising to 2,400. Tommy Vedes and Matt Glantz both called that raise before a late-position player moved all in for his last 13,400. That was enough to fold Palacios, but Vedes and Glantz both called to create a 40,000-chip main pot.

Vedes checked the {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} flop to Glantz. Glantz made it 15,000 to go, inducing a quick fold. That left his pair of tens, {10-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, heads-up for the main pot against the all-in player's {k-Clubs} {k-Diamonds}. Glantz did not improve with the {7-Clubs} turn or {3-Clubs} river, giving his opponent a triple-up.
