Velisek Gets a Fun Runout
David Vig raised to 40,000 in middle position and action folded around to Scott Velisek in the small blind, who shoved for 255,000. Andy Rogowski folded in the big blind and action was back on Vig, who started the hand with less than Velisek and was now faced with a decision for his tournament life.
Several minutes went by and a clock was eventually called. The floor came and let him know he had 30 seconds to call, and he took about two of them before dropping in a chip to call.
David Vig: 
Scott Velisek: 
Velisek saw an unfavorable flop of 
, giving Vig a pair of jacks. The turn 
brought Velisek's side of the table to bring up the possibility of a chop, but the dealer instead brought the river 
to give Velisek a pair of queens and put him back on top, earning him the pot and sending Vig to the payout desk.
