Velasco Nearly Eliminates Nixon
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With about 25,000 in the pot on a 
board, Ricardo Velasco bet 15,000 from early position.
James Nixon, who only had 16,100 behind, went deep into the tank before eventually making the call.
Velasco announced "two pair" and flipped over 
while Nixon winced and slid his cards into the muck, shipping the rest of his red chips over and leaving just a yellow and a black behind.
With the win, Velasco has crossed over the 100,000-chip mark.
