Vamplew Triples & Firsau Busts in the Same Hand
Russia's Sergey Baburin opened for 800 under the gun and received a call from Vasili Firsau in middle position. Former EPT champ David Vamplew then three-bet all in for 4,150 from the hijack, action folded back to Baburin, and he made the call. Firsau then counted out his chips and put in a four-bet to 14,800, leaving himself about a thousand behind. Baburin thought his opponent was all in and said, "Call."
The pots were sorted out and then Baburin moved all in on the 
flop. Firsau called off and all three players turned up their hands.
Baburin: 
Firsau: 
Vamplew: 
Vamplew was up out of his seat preparing to make his exit, but he sat back down when the dealer burned and turned the 
. While Vamplew found new life, Firsau was still at risk in the sizable side pot. He would need an eight and an eight only to stay alive, but it wasn't meant to be as the 
blanked on the river.
