Vernay Claims Another Scalp
Level 38
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
A shout of celebration went up from Table 78, and Tristan Vernay was walking away from the table pumping his fists.
All the money went in on the turn against Pavel Ustinov, who put around 2,100,000 in.
Vernay had A♥A♦ and Ustinov J♠10♥, with the board reading Q♠9♥7♠5♥, Ustinov on an up and down versus Vernay's overpair.
The 7♥ river was a brick, much to Vernay's delight.
