Vellanki Flips His Way to Survival

Tim Baker

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

David Damone raised to 2,000 from the hijack, and Bharath Vellanki, sitting on his left, three-bet to 7,000. Jerome Theriault four-bet jammed from the big blind for about 60,000. Only Vellanki called, putting himself at risk with around 31,000 behind.

Bharath Vellanki: 8♠8♥ All in
Jerome Theriault: A♥K♠

It was a flip, and Vellanki had his phone out ready to film what could have been his final hand in this year's Main Event.

It wasn't his time to go just yet, though, as the 7♥5♥2♦5♠4♠ runout kept Vellanki's pair of eights in front all the way, earning him a double through Theriault.
