Vaseli Holds in Big All-In Pot
Level 8
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
The pot had about 40,000 in it when the board read 
and Tim English had 20,000 in front of him. Jean Florentin Vaseli was all in for about 55,000 and English had a decision to make. English called and opened up 
for a gutshot straight draw, two overcards, and the nut flush draw. Vaseli opened up 
and was well in the lead.
The river was the 
and Vaseli held on to the best hand, scooping himself a pot worth about 150,000. English was left with only 13,000 after the hand, which is about 10 big blinds in the current level.
