Vakalahi to 200k

Ardmore Vakalahi opened with a raise to 5,800 from late position only to have Tao Luo three-bet from the big blind to 13,500.

Vakalahi made the call as the {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop fell and Luo fired out 16,000. Vakalahi called, and when the {5-Diamonds} landed on the turn and a bet of 30,000 followed from Luo, he again made the call.

The river landed the {7-Spades} and Luo moved all in for over 100,000 to put Vakalahi to a decision for his last 25,300.

"My brother, I don't think you have the Queen!" stated Vakalahi.

After a few moments of deliberation, Vakalahi made the call to see Luo table his {A-}{K-}.

Vakalahi slammed down his {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and launched to his feet clapping and screaming, "Twinkle, twinkle!" as he collected the pot to soar to 190,000 as Luo slips to 80,000 in chips.
