Charette and Varoxis Double Up, Waki Strikes Gold

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Simon Charette and Kosta Varoxis have doubled up, while Waki Waki turned out one of his euphoric celebrations after making a huge call against Ben Vinson as we keep on keeping on in Event #17.

Charette moved the last of his money into the middle before the flop with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and was called by Josh Tekesky who called with {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}, but to his relief, he paired up on the flop of {6-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts} before the turn and river blanked out {4-Clubs}, {3-Diamonds} to move back up to 140,000 in chips.

A short time later, our field reporter caught the action between Waki and Vinson on the feature table on a board that read {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Spades}. Waki fired out a 42,000 after the river and Vinson went deep into the tank before making a crying call, only to fold after Waki showed {A-Hearts}{4-Spades} for trip aces. Waki was ecstatic, pumping his fists over Vinson's call, which moved his stack back up over 214,000.

And just before the break, the action folded to Daniel Reijmer who raised from the small blind before Varoxis shoved from the big blind. Reijmer called and showed {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} but was dominated by Varoxis' {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, which improved to a set after the dealer spread the board of {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}, moving Varoxis up to 150,000.
