Vaupel Smacks the Turn to Double Off Steury
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
James Vaupel and Aaron Steury were heads-up on a flop of 4♦10♣9♥ when Vaupel got his last 26,300 in the middle from the big blind and Steury put him at risk in early position.
James Vaupel: A♠10♦
Aaron Steury: 10♠9♠
Vaupel had top pair, but Steury had the lead with two pair to leave Vaupel in danger of elimination. The turn, though, was the A♦ and a collective gasp arose from the table as Vaupel spiked a higher two pair.
The river was the 4♥ and Vaupel doubled up.
