Vakili Netter-ed

Reza Vakili has just been eliminated in the space of two hands by Tyler Netter.

The money was all in the middle preflop between Vakili and Netter in the first hand and we got there as the cards were tabled:

Vakili: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Netter: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Vakili was in the lead but lost it when the board was spread {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Hearts} to give Netter the better two pair.

Left with just 19,000 in chips, he moved it all in a short time later with {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and found himself flipping for his tournament life against Netter's {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Spades} and Vakili was vanquished. Netter nets a whole bag of chips, now sitting on a stack worth 131,000.
