Livello 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The under-the-gun player limped and the early position player raised to 20,000 which Robert Veazey called on the button, as did the small blind and under-the-gun player.

The flop of J♠10♠2♣ saw the action checked to Veazey who bet 80,000. The early position player moved all in for 91,000 which was called by Veazey and everyone else folded.

Early Position: Q♣Q♠
Robert Veazey: K♣K♠

Veazey was in a dominant position with top pair, and there was no help for early position as the A♠7♦ completed the board.

After the hand Veazey revealed in the previous hand that his pocket queens improved to quads to knock a player out and is now among the chip leaders.
