Veerachai Vongxaiburana

Joao Vieira raised to 240,000 from the big blind after an initial raise and two other players came along. Veerachai Vongxaiburana came over the top and moved all in which quickly folded the other players out of the hand. Vieira went deep into the tank to consider the shove. He thought for close to four minutes before calling in the end.

Veerachai Vongxaiburana {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Joao Vieira {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came {4-Clubs}{k-Spades}{3-Spades} to give Vieira trip kings. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and the river the {10-Clubs} to finish off Vongxaiburana.
