Level 30 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Matt Vengrin opened to 400,000 under the gun, and Jacob Snider defended his big blind..

The 8♣K♦8♥ flop went check-check, before Snider bet out for 500,000 on the 7♥ turn. Vengrin put in a very quick call. The Q♠ river checked through, and Snider announced "you're good," tabling Jx10x9x5x for a missed draw. Vengrin's K♠J♠7♦5♦ was indeed good.
