Vela Gets the Knockout
Level 5
: 300/500, 500 ante
Michael Vela opened from early position with a raise to 1,500. A reraise to 4,000 came from middle position, and Vela was the only caller.
On the 
flop, Vela check raised from 4,500 to 11,000 and got a call.
On the turn, Vela's opponent moved all in. Vela could hardly contain himself, putting in his calling chips at essentially the same time as his opponent put in his own.
Opponent: 
Michael Vela: 
Both players had made a flush, but Vela had the nuts. He scooped the pot while his opponent headed for the rail.
