Vital Triple Up for Velador
Level 26
: Limits 120,000/240,000, 0 ante
Ben Lamb raised first to act and was called by James Chen with the A♥J♣5♦2♠, Luis Velador also stuck around as they went three ways to the K♦J♥8♣ flop. Chen opted to check and Velador bet. Lamb eyeballed the stack of his opponent and called, as did Chen and they headed to the 6♠ on the turn.
Chen checked again and Velador bet, Lamb raised and that sent Chen into the tank before he folded. Velador got it in for 635,000 and Lamb called as they flipped over their cards.
Luis Velador: K♠Q♥J♦8♥
Ben Lamb: A♦K♣7♠2♦
The Q♦ on the river failed to improve Lamb and he also missed the low to see Velador triple up while Chen was now the far shortest stack.
