"You Can't Tell Him What to Do!"

The ever-eccentric Vinny Vinh has just doubled up John Burnard and, straying from classic Vinny form, he actually stuck up for one of the very same dealers he's been known to hate.

Vinny opened the pot with a raise from under the gun holding {K-Hearts} {6-Hearts} and when the action folded around to Burnard, he reraised all in for a few hundred more. Vinny made the call and was happy to see that his king-six was live against John's {A-Spades} {10-Spades}.

The {4-Spades} {K-Spades} {J-Diamonds} flop gave Vinny top pair, but it also gave his opponent the nut flush draw, a gutshot straight draw and outs to make a higher pair.

'Any spade!' Burnard said.

Vinny then demanded, 'You can't tell him (the dealer) what to do!'

While a spade never came, Burnard spiked an ace on the turn to take command of the hand and never looked back as the {4-Clubs} blanked off on the river.
