Carlos Vecino Building a Monster Stack
Action was picked up with the big blind Monika Zukowicz all in for 89,000, with Juan Carlos Vecino in the early position, and Jed Friedman on the button making the call.
The flop came 5♦5♣J♥ and Carlos Vecino checked to Friedman, who bet out 50,000. Carlos Vecino then elected to raise to 165,000, which after taking some time to debate his decision, Friedman did make the call.
The turn was the 9♠ and Carlos Vecino continued his aggression by betting out 130,000. Friedman elected to lay his hand down, giving the side pot to Carlos Vecino.
Monika Zukowicz: A♣J♦ 
Juan Carlos Vecino: Q♠Q♥
Zukowicz was able to flop top pair, however, she was still in need of help as Carlos Vecino had the over pair with his queens.
The river came the 10♠ and officially eliminated Zukowicz, as Carlos Vecino scooped in a huge pot.
