Wagner's Turn Barrel Gets it Done

Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Samuel Wagner opened the action with a raise to 160,000 from early position. Michael Vela called on the button and Kevin Nathan defended his big blind.
Wagner continued for 375,000 on 9?A?5? and only Nathan made the call.
The turn 7? rolled off and Wagner fired 450,000. Nathan gave it some thought but eventually mucked. Wagner raked in a nice pot to kick off this final table.
