Tardea Sails Vanfleet Down The River
Cristian Tardea managed to lure Jonathan Vanfleet into making a call on the river by offering him great odds to call.
Vanfleet started the betting with a raise from the cutoff to 4,600. Tardea, seated on the button, made the call as did Artur Wasek in the big blind. The flop came down Wasek checked, Vanfleet bet 6,500 and Tardea called.
The dealer put the on the turn, Vanfleet bet 17,000 and after one minute thinking time Tardea made the call. The on the river completed a possible flush and straight which slowed Vanfleet right down and he checked. Tardea now bet 20,000 which sent Vanfleet into the tank.
"You could have queen-jack," Vanfleet said to himself, before trying to figure out the odds the pot was offering him. Two minutes after facing the bet he called it but slipped his cards into the muck when Tardea turned over for the nut flush
