Jeff Vertes Loses a Big One

With around 3,500 in the pot and the board reading [6s4s3h], the player in the big blind checks and Jeff Vertes bets 4,500 from middle position. The player in the big blind then check-raises all-in for 15,900 total. Vertes gets a count, thinks a bit, then calls.

Vertes shows [AdQh] for top pair, but his opponent holds [As3s] for aces up with the nut spade flush draw. The river brings the [10h] and the other player takes the pot to double up.

Jeff Vertes – 40,500
