Vieira Spikes River to Double Through Spencer
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Vicente Delgado opened to 12,000 in early position and received calls from Lewis Spencer in the cutoff and Alex Kulev in the small blind.
Joao Vieira was in the big blind and pondered his options before moving all-in for 117,000. Delgado folded, Spencer called and Kulev got out of the way.
Joao Vieira: A♠J♦ 
Lewis Spencer: A♥Q♠
Vieira's ace was dominated and he looked to be heading for the exit after the 8♥5♠9♣ flop and 8♠ turn.
However the J♠ rolled off on the river to give Vieira the pot with a pair of jacks.
