Desveaux Rockets Past Snead

Scott Desveaux wanted to get a mention in our blog to say hi to his mom and dad back home...now he gets a mention for taking down a huge pot and eliminating Paul Snead in the process.

After Gavin Griffith had opened with a raise from under the gun, it was the sneaky preflop flat call by Scott Desveaux in middle position that lured Snead into the trap. Play folded to Snead in the cutoff who moved all in for 32,700, and as Griffin folded Desveaux snap-called with {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} to have Snead in bad shape with his {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and after a count down of chip Desveaux just had his opponent covered to send Snead to the rail and jump himself up to 75,000.
