Vedes Quick Off The Mark

Tommy Vedes may have only just sat down at the felt here in a scorching hot Cyprus but he has wasted little time in accumulating chips.

Joining the action on a board that read {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts}, the player in Seat 7 who politely declined to show his identification number or tell us his name, check-called a 725 bet from the two-time WPT champion.

The river was the {3-Diamonds} and Seat 7 check-called again, this time an increased bet of 3,225. Vedes flipped over what we initially thoughts was {A-}{A-} but alas it was not, it was something even better, the {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for trip deuces. Seat 7 mucked and Vedes is off to a flying start.
