After a minute or so, he slid out a tall stack of uncounted blue chips for a re-reraise. Vedes stacked together his remaining chips and moved all in for a small raise on top of that, about 95,000 total. His opponent took care of the extra few thousand chips to put him at risk, and the cards were turned up:
