Vanier Surprises Stuer

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

In a blind battle, Mike Vanier bet 13,000 from the small blind on a {3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and Julian Stuer called in the big blind. On the {4-Hearts} turn, Vanier bet 43,000, Stuer raised to 140,000, and Vanier called.

Both players quickly checked the {9-Hearts} on the river. Vanier showed {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for two pairs and Stuer, with a surprised look on his face, folded his hand.

Vanier sits on 520,000 after the hand after losing some chips to Sergio Cabrera before.
