. Appleby checked, Vergeer bet 4,000, Appleby check-raised to 11,800, and Vergeer called.
On the 
turn, Appleby bet 15,000 and Vergeer moved all in. Appleby snap-called the rest of his stack off.
Paul Vergeer: 
Simon Appleby:

on the river didn't change that. Appleby scored a big double up, gobbling up most of Vergeer's chips in the process.
