Vener Stays Alive

Scott Vener had gone from big stack this afternoon to very short. When Keith Lehr raised under the gun to 36,000, Vener moved all in for just 10,000 more. Lehr called with {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, and with {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}, Vener would need to hit something. The {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop wasn't ideal, but it had more potential after the {10-Clubs} turn. The {9-Hearts} on the river was just what Vener ordered, and he doubled up to 105,000 with a king-high straight.
