Hand #103 - Arthur Vea

Arthur Vea has been on a roller coaster at the final table, and this hand was one of his ups.

Vea open-shoved 200,000 on the button and was snapped off by Hoai Pham in the big blind. The hands were tabled:

Vea: {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Pham: {K-}{K-}

The {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} flop kept Vea alive, and the {10-Clubs} on the turn shot him in to the lead.

Pham threw his hands in the air in disgust and found no help from the {J-Clubs} on the river.

With a little bit of luck Vea doubled to about 400,000 chips.

Hand #108

Kent Washington reached his second ever World Series of Poker Final Table this evening, but he was unable to win a coveted bracelet.

Washington was very short when he moved all-in with {K-Hearts}{10-Spades} and was called by Christopher Reider who held {Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} in the big blind.

The {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} have Reider a pair of sevens and the best hand, sending Washington to the rail in 6th place. He won't leave empty handed though, Washington will receive $11,829 for his efforts.

Can we say free-rolling in the Main Event?
