Vazquez With the Hero Shove
Brian Vazquez bet 2,500 from the cutoff and was called by the big blind. The flop came 9?5?3? and Vazquez continued for 2,600. The big blind raised to 10,000 which was called by Vazquez.
The big blind bet 25,000 on the K? turn and Vazquez went deep into the tank as they only had 32,000 in front of them. They eventually decided to put all of their chips on the line and the big blind called the 7,000 extra.
Brian Vazquez: 6?6?
Big Blind: A?Q?
Vazquez's pair of sixes were ahead, but the big blind could hit any ace, queen, or club to take the pot. Before the river was dealt Vazquez told the dealer "If you give me a brick I will give you two percent of my action!" The dealer duly obliged as the 2? completed the board meaning Mario the dealer will be sweating the Uruguayan for the rest of the tournament.
