Vazquez Spikes the River to Take a Massive Pot and the Chip Lead
Luis Vazquez just eliminated another player after a massive pot that catapulted him to the top of the chip counts, and the table filled in the details.
A player raised in early position and Vazquez called in middle position, as did the small blind. The flop came K?10?8? and Vazquez bet 35,000. The small blind raised to 120,000, Vazquez reraised to 260,000, and the small blind called.
The turn was the Q?, and Vazquez bet another 340,000. His opponent tanked for several minutes, and Vazquez called the clock. The small blind eventually moved all in for around 1,000,000, and Vazquez called with 9?7? for straight and flush draws.
His opponent had K?10? for two pair and his own flush draw, but the river was the A? as Vazquez completed his draw to win the pot and climb past 4,000,000.
