Vaysman Wins Big Multiway

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Michael Gagliano opened to 1,800 from late position, and both Brandon Hamlet and Justin Vaysman defended their blinds.

Gagliano threw out a continuation-bet of 2,500 when checked to on the 6♠4♥10♣ flop, and yet again both players called, before action checked through on the 3♥ turn.

The river 2♠ saw Hamlet lead out for 2,500, and Vaysman raise to 10,200. Gagliano folded, and Hamlet went deep into the tank. After a few minutes, he decided to flick in the chips, only to see them handed over to his opponent, whose 5♥3♠ was the winner.

After busting right before the break, Salvatore Evola has rejoined the action.
