Vedes Coolers Tabali For Huge Pot

Action started with Keanu Tabali in middle position, and he raised it up to 37,000. Tommy Vedes was next to act, and he quickly called. Everyone else folded, and they went heads up to a flop of {6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Tabali wasted little time in betting 39,000, and Vedes beat him into the pot. Both players checked the {10-Spades} on the turn, and the river came the {k-Clubs}.

Tabali measured out a bet of 66,000, and dropped it into the middle. Action was to Vedes, and he cut out the chips for a call. He thought for a few moments, then cut out some chips for a raise. Vedes assembled the bet into a big tower, and slid it to the middle, raising 82,000 more. Tabali looked very pained by this, and said "I don't see how I can fold this." Tabali was in the tank for about 3 minutes, before he grabbed the calling chips, saying again "I can't fold", and made the call. Vedes showed {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a full house, and Tabali grimaced, tabling {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for trip kings.

Jonathan Aguiar jokingly said, "Rigged! Who do I call to report this?' as Vedes collected the chips, upping him to 600,000, while tabali drops to the short stack at 66,000.
