Vanhulle Eliminates Maio
Level 12
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
We caught up to the three handed action on the 
[2] flop. Anthony Maio checked and the player in early position bet 20,000 into a main pot of about 35,000.
Benny Vanhulle raised to 60,000 and Anthony Maio check-raised all in for 187,500. After giving it plenty of thought Vanhulle called turning over 
and Maio would need to improve with 
.
The turn 
and river 
were no help to Maio and he was sent to the rail.
