Martin Vone

There were a few players standing at Table 51, which is the international sign for "a few people are all-in."  That was the case as Martin Vone had two opponents well covered, but was a little behind:

Vone: 5♠ 5♣
Player X: J♠ J♣
Player Y: K♠ J♦

Flop: 8♥ 5♥ 9♠
Turn: 10♠
River: 10♥

"I'm going speeding," Von said in regards to his hand nicknamed the "speed limit."  Vone flopped a set, bring a big smile to his face, but that look changed to concern once both players turned outs to a straight.  The river pairing the board solidified the hand for Vone, who is now over 210,000.
