Damon Doubles Through Vachon

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Connor Vachon raised to 8,000 in early position and both Paul Lentschke in middle position and Joseph Damon in the big blind called.

The flop rolled out A73 and Damon checked over to Vachon who bet 8,000, earning a quick fold from Lentschke. Damon raised to 32,000, prompting Vachon to move all in for 72,000 effective and Damon snap-called.

Joseph Damon: 73
Connor Vachon: A6

Damon further improved to a boat on the turn 3 and the river peeled off a J to leave Damon with the best hand against the chip leader.

At another table, Todd Bishop was eliminated by Thomas Midena.
