Meli Rising; Vazquez Leading
Level 8
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Juan Castejon Vazquez has continued to add more chips to his stack and appears to be among the top stacks while Vincent Meli one table over just dragged in a healthy pot to become one of the big stacks.
With 12,500 invested three ways to the 
flop, Meli bet 11,000 after Marius Gicovanu had checked and the third player in the hand called, Gicovanu folded. The 
turn was checked and Meli then bet the 
river for 15,000 to pick up a call. Meli revealed 
for top pair and top kicker, which ended up as the winning hand.
