Vedes, Under Fire, Waits for a Better Spot

Guillaume Darcourt has been very aggressive the last few days, mixing it up with some marginal hands that tighter players would just fold. He opened pre-flop for 52,000 and was called by Jon Eaton and big blind Tommy Vedes. After Vedes checked a flop of {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Darcourt continued for 80,000. Only Vedes called.

Both players checked the {10-Spades} turn, taking the action to the {9-Spades} river. Vedes bet 85,000 but that didn't faze Darcourt. Darcourt pushed in a raise to 288,000 total. Vedes spent a few minutes pondering his decision. Ultimately he flashed a {q-Hearts} and elected to fold.
