Vera Making Ground

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Phil Vera is on the uptick and looking to build more as play approaches the end of level ten.

On this hand, Chris Moneymaker opened under the gun to 2,200. Josh Smith, Mike Melkersen and Vera all called, with Vera calling from the big blind.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Vera checked. Moneymaker bet 3,500, Smith folded. Melkersen and Vera called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and all three remaining players checked.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Vera bet 8,000. Moneymaker took a moment before deciding to fold. Then Melkersen took a little bit longer, but settled on a fold as well.

On the next hand, Vera fired on an all heart flop and took that hand down as well against four players. He offered to show this hand, but the table said they didn't. Instead, they wanted to know what he held last hand.

He eventually said that he missed a straight draw and that Melkersen, who said he folded nines, would have won the hand.
