Adam Lamers

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Michael Del Vecchio was one of the Day 2 entries and he just recently took his seat on Table 22. Unfortunately for him, a red-hot Daniel Deveau was just a couple of seats away and the two players collided in a big pot.

Del Vecchio opened to 1,200 in the hijack and the button three-bet to 3,500. Deveau splashed in a four-bet to 9,500 and Del Vecchio five-bet jammed all in for around 45,000. The button thought for a minute before folding and Deveau quickly called.

Daniel Deveau:
Michael Del Vecchio:

The board ran out and Del Vecchio was sent to the rail not long after sitting in his seat.
