Vanderford Strikes a Blow

In the early moments of Level 12, Gabe Costner raises first in on the button to 10,000. Floyd Vanderford and Jeff Tims both call from the blinds.

The {6-Spades}{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} flop brings the action. The blinds check to the raiser, who puts in a continuation bet of 18,000. Vanderford pauses for several moments before deciding to check-raise all in for a total of 78,000. Costner calls, and they turn over their hands.

Vanderford: {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Costner: {K-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The turn and river come {5-Spades} and {4-Hearts}, and Vanderford's kicker plays, winning him the pot, and more than doubling him up. After the hand, Vanderford climbs to 200,000, while Costner is crippled with under 60,000 remaining.
