Vancil Gets Knockout
Action for this hand was picked up as each player's chip stack was being counted, but Craig Vancil and another player at the table were kind enough to provide PokerNews with the details after the fact.
The under-the-gun player limped, as did the cutoff, before Craig Vancil put in a raise to 12,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way before the under-the-gun player reraised to 32,000. The cutoff folded and Vancil moved all in. His opponent called and they were off to the races.
Opponent: 
Craig Vancil: 
Vancil was behind only briefly, as the 
flop paired his ace. The 
turn changed nothing and the 
river improved Vancil to a full house, securing himself the pot.
The dealer then began to count each player's stack, as they were quite close and it wasn't clear if Vancil had his opponent covered. After a bit of counting, Vancil's total came to 98,000. The dealer then moved on to count the opponent's stack. After a count and a recount, it was confirmed that his opponent had a stack of 97,500, a single 500 chip short of Vancil. The opponent promptly headed for the rail while Vancil scooped the pot which put him over the 200,000 mark.
