Pudel and Vella Hit the Flop
Level 25
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Nils Pudel opened from the cutoff with 6♠6♣ from the cutoff, and Vito Vella called in the big blind with A♠Q♥.
Both players connected on the Q♦J♦6♦ flop, which gave Vella top pair, but Pudel was miles ahead with a set. Vella check-called for 100,000.
The 2♣ turn was a brick, and Vella check-called for 550,000 with his useless pair of queens.
The 8♥ completed the board and saw Vella check for a third time. Pudel bet big and sized up to 1,200,000. Vella put in the call and the four million chip pot went to Pudel
