Vanderveer Holds to Double Up
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was picked up on the turn with roughly 14,000 in the pot and the board showing 3?7?8?5?.
Michael Vanderveer was all in for 74,600, and Miguel Martinez called to put him at risk.
Michael Vanderveer: 9?8? 
Miguel Martinez: 9?7?
Both players had a flush draw, and it was Vanderveer ahead with his pair of nines, with Martinez needing a seven, heart to take the pot, or a non club six to chop the pot. But the river was the A? and Vanderveer still had the best hand to double up and take the sizable pot.
