Vedes Loses a Crisp One
With a board of 
in the middle of the felt, Tommy Vedes bet 625. His opponent was Nicholas Crisp from the United Kingdom and he made the call to see the 
fall on the river. Vedes fired again, betting out 1,925. Crisp made the call.
Vedes tabled the 
for two pair, aces and deuces. Crisp held the 
for a set of queens and won the hand.
The winner of this pot, Crisp, has never cashed in a World Series of Poker event. In fact, of all his $78,398 in tournament earnings, they've all come from his home country of England. Crisp is currently having his best year on the felt, having already earned over $65,000. That's thanks in large part to a win at the ￡500 No-Limit Hold'em Re-Entry Event at the Dusk Till Dawn Monthly Deepstack for ￡39,000. Crisp took the lion's share of the four-way chop and bested a field of 292 players to do so.
Vedes was on the losing end of this pot, but he surely knows how to make a deep run in the WSOP Main Event. His best finish came in 2009 when he took 19th in the grand daddy of all tournaments for over $350,000. In all, Vedes has 22 WSOP cashes and will be looking to make this his 23rd and a big one at that.
