Siciliano Doubles Through Vella

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

When the break had started Mark Vella and Marco Siciliano were still seated at their table.

Vella was sitting on the button and in the tank with a bet of 12,000 in front of him. Marco Siciliano was in the under-the-gun position and was all-in for 50,200. Vella looked pained and reluctantly made the call with the slightly bigger stack.

Marco Siciliano: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
Marko Vella: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to give Siciliano a set immediately and Vella needed to hit a runner-runner flush or quad jacks to eliminate Siciliano.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} which meant that Vella was drawing dead and the {3-Spades} on the river was just a formality to complete the board.
