Vrakas Takes Two Out

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The first player in mid-position raised to 1,100 and the player on his left shoved all in for 3,050 in total. Georgios Vrakas, sitting on the button, called and so did the initial raiser.

The flop came {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, the initial raiser shoved with the shorter stack and Vrakas snap-called.

Mid-position: {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Initial raiser: {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Georgios Vrakas: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The player in mid-position had flopped a pair of fives, the initial raiser a flush draw and Vrakas had hit a set of tens.

The rest of the board was completed with the {6-Diamonds} on the turn and the {k-Diamonds} on the river. No danger for Vrakas as he eliminated the two other players.
