Vos to the Rail

Mark Vos - Eliminated
Mark Vos - Eliminated
With just about one big blind left, Mark Vos moved all in holding {10-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. Kristian Svensson looked him up with {K-Spades} {4-Hearts}.

The dealer turned over the flop: {2-Spades} {7-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. "Oh, I see a ten!" yelled Vos. "Woohoo, Mark Vos makes it through to the next round!"

Indeed, Vos did manage to make the winning pair of tens, doubling up to 3,200. However, those chips would go into the pot a short time later. This time, Vos showed down {8-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}, and it was Svensson trying once more to knock out the pro. He was in the lead with {A-Clubs} {2-Spades}, and had Vos on the ropes.

On this hand, Vos couldn't overcome the deficit, as the board came out {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs}. Svensson hit his pair of aces, knocking Vos out, much to the delight of some of the players at his table, who were less than entertained by some of his light-hearted antics tonight.
