Massive Call, Massive Pot for Gould
Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
At the turn with the board reading 
and a pile of chips in the pot numbering about 25,000, Mike Del Vecchio had a bet of 12,200 sitting in front of him. Peter Gould raised him to 28,200 and Del Vecchio pushed all in for 85,200, covering Gould. It took a couple of minutes, but Gould eventually made the call, risking his tournament just a couple spots from the bubble, with ace-high to go with the pair on the board. However, it was better than Del Vecchio's king-high.
Del Vecchio: 
Gould: 
The river was the 
, giving Gould the unnecessary two pairs, and his enormous call has now put him in the position of chip leader.
