Vedes Splashes Pot, Doubles Up Opponent

[user162117]

When we arrived at Table 414, there was a flop showing {6-Spades} {j-Diamonds} {9-Spades} and Robert Macdonald was betting 18,000 into Tommy Vedes. Within a few second Vedes had literally grabbed a handful of of his chips and enthusiastically splashed them into the pot - it was enough to put Macdonald all in. Macdonald seemed taken aback by the splashing, but once he understood that he would be calling all in, he committed the remainder of his chips.

Macdonald

Vedes had the set, but Macdonald had plenty of outs to the flush. When the {4-Spades} hit the turn, Macdonald celebrated, but he wasn't out of the dark yet. If the board paired, he would be going home. However, the {5-Clubs} river was safe and Macdonald doubled, while Vedes took a small hit to his stack.
