Vandal-izing the Competition

Vinnie Vandal bet 10,000 on a {7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop. A player in early position moved all in for 11,000 and Dave Fisher called behind. Vandal called the extra 1,000 as the {7-Diamonds} came on the turn.

Vandal pushed his remaining stack in the middle, which caused Fisher to fold. The early position player turned over the {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts} but was behind Vandal’s {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}.

The {4-Clubs} hit the river and Vandal took a huge pot worth 45,000, bringing his stack up to 70,000. Interestingly, part of his stack is comprised of new orange chips, worth 5,000 apiece.
