Veckey Pulls Ahead

Jason Wheeler made it 240,000 to play from the small blind and Tony Veckey joined in.

On a flop of {8-Diamonds}

, Veckey bet 300,000 and Wheeler came along. The turn brought the {6-Diamonds}

, another 300,000 bet from Veckey, and another call. The river brought the {7-Diamonds}

and yet another 300,000 bet. When Wheeler raised to 1,500,000, Veckey called and tabled {8-Hearts}

for the straight. Wheeler mucked.
