Vedire Spikes an Eight to Triple Up

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yashwamth Vedire moved all in for 560,000 from under the gun. It folded to Albert Chan who flat-called. The new player at the table was in the big blind and re-raised all in for 925,000.

Chan took his time counting out the extra chips needed before calling.

Yashwamth Vedire: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Albert Chan: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Big Blind: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

"I have aces," said the big blind. The flop was {6-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts} with the {2-Diamonds} coming on the turn. However, the river {8-Diamonds} improved Vedire to a set of eights, with the big blind scooping the smaller side pot to remain alive.
