Vert Doubles Through Hays

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Philippe Vert, the only international player at this official final table, has just managed to double through Foster Hays to move up to more than 1.4 million in chips.

The action folded around to Hays who raised to 75,000 from middle position before the flop before Vert reraised all-in from the big blind for another 540,000. Hays thought about it long and hard, but eventually made the call, showing down {6-Spades}{6-Hearts} against Vert's {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}.

However, the crowd gasped after the dealer spread a very pretty flop of {8-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, before completing the board with the turn of the {7-Spades} and the river {9-Spades} to give Vert the flush.

Hays is now down to just under two million in chips.
