Vanier Wins a Big One

Level 32 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Leo Taffe opened to 750,000 with Q?8? and Mike Vanier defended from the big blind with J?7?.

The flop came out 3?6?8? to give Taffe top pair but also gave Vanier a flush draw.

Taffe continued for 600,000 and Vanier decided to make the call and the two went to the turn 6?.

Both players decided to check and the J? appeared on the river to give Vanier the lead with his jack.

Vanier then bet 2,100,000 and Taffe quickly called but was then shown the bad news by Vanier.

Vanier was then pushed the sizable pot to shorten the gap between him and Taffe.
