Vincent Gains Some Ground
Level 35
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Nik opened to 1,600,000 from the hijack with K♠J♠, and Christophe Vincent called in the small blind holding 8♠8♥. Vincent checked the Q♣5♥J♥ flop, and Nik continued for 1,000,000 with his pair.
Vincent called to see the 7♥ turn, where he checked again. Nik checked back, and the 4♥ river completed a flush for Vincent.
After taking a moment, Vincent opted to check and Nik tapped the table behind. Vincent showed his flush, taking down the pot as Nik mucked.
