Veloso Flops Set for Double Knockout
It had been a slow start in the Horseshoe Gold section withPokerNews witnessing six consecutive raise-folds.
Finally, there was action at Table 637 as Justin Pechie opened to 50,000 on the button and Raja Chirumamilla three-bet jammed a stack of 450,000 in the small blind. Sergio Veloso then shoved a stack of 1,565,000 from the big blind to put Pechie to a decision.
"There's no way," he said. "Sorry if I'm nitrolling you."
After hearing that, Veloso immediately called the clock, but the dealer told him enough time hadn't passed. Soon after, Pechie called off with a stack of around 1,200,000.
Raja Chirumamilla: 10♠10♣ 
Justin Pechie: A♥K♦
Sergio Veloso: 9♣9♦
Veloso took a huge lead as the flop landed 4♠9♥Q♦ to give him a set. He was far from gracious after the big suckout, clapping his hands and taking a lap as the board finished out A♠K♣ to earn him a double knockout.
He returned to the table and shook Pechie's hand, but Chirumamilla wasn't in the mood for niceties and headed to the payout counter.
