Vambeck and Laurila Hit the Rail

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Tero Laurila
Tero Laurila

When action was on Conal Vambeck in early position, he moved all in for 280,000. Robert Sherwood called a couple of seats to his left, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Conal Vambeck: 105 All in
Robert Sherwood: AK

It was big slick for Sherwood, up against a hand he wasn't expecting to see.

The JQ3 flop reduced Vambeck's immediate outs, seeing him require five.

The 3 turn card was unforthcoming, and the K river only served to improve Sherwood to top pair.

On a nearby table, former champion Tero Laurila said his goodbyes to his table, as his ace-jack fell to the ace-king of Mircea Stanescu, on a 10Q3J10 board.
