Vambeck and Laurila Hit the Rail
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
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: 10♥5♥ 
Robert Sherwood: A♠K♠
It was big slick for Sherwood, up against a hand he wasn't expecting to see.
The J♦Q♦3♠ 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 10♠Q♣3♠J♠10♦ board.
