Vaughan Wins a Quick Race
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Matt Vaughan had just taken his seat in the tournament when he got in his 30,000 from the hijack. Another opponent in the cutoff also put in his last 2,500, while Alan Percal in middle position had both players covered and at risk.
Cutoff: 5♣4♣
Matt Vaughan: 10♦10♥
Alan Percal: A♦K♣
The board ran out 6♥J♦9♦J♥2♣, and Vaughan's pair of tens stayed in the lead to earn him the pot. The cutoff was sent to the rail, while Vaughan doubled up off Percal.
