Vamplew with the Six-Bet Shove
EPT champ David Vamplew opened with a raise from the cutoff only to have another EPT champ, Mike "Timex" McDonald, three-bet from the button. The blinds folded, Vamplew four-bet to 5,500, and McDonald responded with a five-bet to 11,000. Vamplew thought for about 30 seconds and announced that he was all in, which brought about a snap-called from McDonald.
Vamplew: 
McDonald: 
"You have me covered?" Vamplew asked while looking at McDonald. Unbeknownst to him, the dealer had already put out the flop (
), which gave him a set. "Oh," Vamplew muttered once he looked at the board. "Nevermind."
The dealer completed the board with the 
turn and 
river to give Vamplew, who was getting ribbed by the rest of the table, a full double.
Meanwhile, both Tiberu-Florian Georgescu and Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen have been eliminated from the tournament.
