Vedes Doubles Through the Decano

Tommy Vedes, who has taken a couple of hits as of late, moved all in from the hijack for 100,000, which Thiago "xTHEDECANOx" Nishijima called from the big blind after tanking for a bit.

Showdown
Vedes: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Nishijima: {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Vedes was ahead with ace high, and the {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop kept him there. The {9-Diamonds} turn meant Nishijima needed either a king or eight on the river to dispatch his foe, but it wasn't in the cards as the {3-Diamonds} peeled off on the river. With that, Vedes is up to 224,000 while Nishijima dropped to 170,000.
