Vanstrom Needs No Showdown
Jason Vanstrom was in middle position and opened to 2,500. Efrain Carabeo called from the hijack and action made its way around to the big blind, who defended. The flop fell 
and the big blind checked to Vanstrom, who made a continuation-bet of 2,700. Carabeo folded and the big blind called.
The turn came 
and the big blind led out with a bet of 2,500. Vanstrom called, bringing the river 
where the big blind checked. Vanstrom threw out a bet of 13,500 and quickly received a fold, earning him the pot.
Moments afterwards, Steve Wilkie shared that he had been seated to Vanstrom's direct right for one hand. The two got stacks all in preflop with Wilkie having two kings and Vanstrom having two aces. Vanstrom held and Wilkie went straight to the registration desk to fire again.
