Del Vecchio Keeps Tumbling Down
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
It's been a level to forget for Mike Del Vecchio as the start of Day 4 chipleader just lost another sizable pot against Espen Solaas. It was Artur Koren who came in with a raise to 50,000 from the cutoff. Solaas called on the button and Del Vecchio got in from the big blind.
The 
flop got checked to Solaas, who bet 52,000. Del Vecchio check-raised to 124,000, Koren folded and Solaas called. The 
rolled off on the turn and both players checked.
On the 
river, Del Vecchio checked again. Solaas bet 175,000 and the American faced another tough decision. He opted to call after a solid minute of thought but once again got shown bad news: Solaas held 
for trip fives to drag the pot.
