Hand #23 - Luis Velador

There is a dead button on this hand. Luis Velador announces a raise from late position and tosses out 55,000 chips. Jae Chung calls from the small blind and Shane Stacey calls from the big blind.

The three players see a flop of {K-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Chung and Stacey check and Velador fires a bet of 85,000. Chung and Stacey quickly fold and Velador wins the pot.

Hand #21 - Luis Velador

Luis Velador has the button in Seat 3. The action folds around to Velador and he raises to 60,000. The small blind passes and Utsab Saha reraises to 120,000 from the big blind. Velador, as he puts out the call, announces an additional reraise. He makes it 250,000 more. Saha thinks for a bit, and eventually moves all in. Velador makes the call. The players show:

Velador: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}
Saha: {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

The gallery is a bit more enthusiastic this time, as the various supporters call for their preferred cards.

The flop comes {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades} and the crowd's requests become impossible to decipher. The turn brings the {2-Spades} and the atmosphere is intense.

When the {6-Hearts} hits the river, Velador's gallery erupts. Saha slowly makes his way off stage. He'll take home $77,051 for his eighth-place finish here today.
