Adolfo Vaeza from day 2 - 3rd place
Adolfo Vaeza from day 2 - 3rd place
William Reynolds raised to 90,000 on the button and Adolfo Vaeza called from the big blind.

The flop fell {4-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} Vaeza shoved for about 700,000. Reynolds snap-called with {A-Spades}{K-Spades} and was ahead of Vaeza's {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs}.

The turn and river ran out {J-Hearts} and {5-Spades}, sending Vaeza to the rail in 3rd place.

Vaeza added this finish to his High Roller resume which includes a 4th in the EPT6 London High Roller Event.

Familiar Territory for Molson

Will Molson is heads-up in the PCA High Roller event. If that sounds familiar, it is because he was in this same spot last year when he and Bertrand "Elky" Grospellier battled for the title.

Grospellier won the match, but Molson still captured $228,000 for second place. He's improved upon that score this year and hopes to capture the title.

Reynolds Takes First Pot

On the first hand of heads-up play, Will Molson had the button and raised to 110,000. William Reynolds made the call and then flop came down {10-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}. Both players checked, bringing them to the {9-Hearts} on the turn.

Reynolds led the turn for a bet of 165,000 and Molson called. The river card completed the board with the {A-Hearts} and both players checked.

Reynolds showed {J-Spades} {10-Spades} and Molson held {K-?} {9-?} without a heart. Reynolds took the first pot of heads-up play.

With that pot, heads-up play has now lasted longer than it did last year, which took only one hand between Molson and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier.

Getting Bored?

The two heads-up competitors were just joking about how boring the match has been. The dealer suggested that each of them play a version of "power hour" where the start taking shots every five minutes together. That would surely liven things up in a little while.

It's also surprising because the two made a deal right when they got to heads-up play. But, according to William Reynolds, "It's all about the title now."

The blinds will be going up in a few minutes, so maybe that will spark some more action.
