Vedral Takes Chip Lead
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
On a huge heads-up flop of Q♥A♥10♦, Samy Dighlawi had made it 1,600,000 to go and then David Vedral moved all in, covering him.
Dighlawi went deep into the tank to consider his options concerning his tournament life, and after a while, he shrugged as if to say "screw it", and set his chips into the middle.
Samy Dighlawi: A♣9♦
David Vedral: K♠J♣
"Ughh, nice hand," Dighlawi told Vedral when he realized he was up against the stone nuts and he was only drawing to a possible chop or runner-runner full house.
The board completed with th 6♠8♣ to seal Dighwali's fate, eliminating him from the tournament while Vedral was pushed the monster pot to rocket him into the chip lead with almost 9,000,000.
