Busting Tommy Vu

From the hijack seat, Tommy Vu opens by raising all in with his last 17,500 chips. Thomas Nielsen calls from the cutoff seat, and Edward Brogdon reraises all in himself from the small blind. Nielsen calls the second raise as well and the hands are turned over:

Vu: {Q-Spades} {7-Spades}
Nielsen: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}
Brogdon: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}

With the action complete, the dealer runs the board: {6-Clubs} {4-Spades} {7-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. Neither of the trailing players manages to catch up to Brogdon's aces, and he takes down a nice pot, nearly tripling up to 74,300. Nielsen is left with 53,300, and Tommy Vu heads to the rail.
