Piau Cracks Aces to Bust Veloson
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Around 23,000 was in the middle on a flop of K?6?Q? in a hand between Daniel Veloson and Yoann Piau, who had position.
Veloson checked and Piau slid out a bet of 27,500. Veloson considered the spot before reaching for chips and producing a check-raise to 135,000. Piau thought it through for a moment before moving all in for around 214,000 and Veloson made the quick call. Piau slightly covered his opponent.
Daniel Veloson: A?A? 
Yoann Piau: K?Q?
Veloson's pocket rockets were behind Piau's flopped top two pair, and the 3? turn and 9? river did not provide Veloson with the help he needed to reverse the picture, sending him to the exit.
Piau exclaimed "Yes!" and rapped the table in celebration as the river hit to send him a big pot.
