Vella Puts Machado In the Tank
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Vito Vella had bet 185,000 from the small blind in a pot of 350,000 on a completed board of 5♠2♠A♠J♥8♣. His opponent was Hugo Machado in the big blind, who was thinking it over long and hard.
Eventually, Machado let his hand go, sending a big pot Vella's way.
