Taffe Puts DeVore to the Test
Leo Taffe opened to 300,000 under-the-gun with K♠K♦ and Mike Vanier made the call to his left with 6♠6♣. The action folded around to Sundiata DeVore who woke up with J♥J♣ and puts in a three-bet to 1,100,000.
Taffe then clicked it back to 1,900,000 and DeVore went into the tank before making the call and the two players went to a flop of 10♠9♣4♣.
DeVore checked over to Taffe who then continued for 700,000 and DeVore made the call.
The turn came out the 4♠ and DeVore checked again to Taffe who then moved all in to cover.
DeVore burned through all of his time banks before he finally decided to make the correct fold, awarding the huge pot to the chip leader.
