Vanier Commits His Last Chip Drawing Thin
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kai Nicholls raised to 25,000 under the gun and Thomas Boivin called in middle position. Mike Vanier then reraised to 203,000 in the cutoff and Nicholls called, while Boivin got out of the way.
Nicholls turned over 7♣7♥ thinking that Vanier was all in, but Vanier showed he still had one 1,000 chip left. The flop came 7♦2♠6♠ and Nicholls moved all in. Vanier, despite knowing that Nicholls had hit top set, called off with A♠K♣.
The 8♣ turn left Vanier drawing dead, while the 4♥ completed the board on the river and sent Vanier to the rail.
