Vedes Chips Up

In a multi-way pot with around 8,000 in the middle, Tommy Vedes fired out for his last 14,000 on a {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop.

The remaining active players folded to see Vedes table his {6-Spades}{4-Spades} to be drawing live against his opponent's {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}.

The {6-Clubs} on the turn was enough to put Vedes in the lead, and after the river blanked, Vedes scooped the pot to climb to 25,000 as his opponent hit the rail.

Vedes however is still chasing table chip leader Jimmy Collopy who has 50,000 in chips with play at five-handed.
