Nithin Vanteru was the early chip leader in Flight F and he continues to make his way towards Day 2.
Nithin Vanteru opened from the lojack to 16,000 on 4,000/8,000/8,000. Brian Devany put in a 3-bet to 50,000 and Vanteru called.
With 120,000 already in the middle, the flop brought a rainbow 7♣6♠5♦. Vanteru check-called Devany's 35,000 continuation.
Vanteru again went check-call mode on the A♠ turn but this time it was calling off Devany's jam. Vanteru was at risk for 148,000 effective. Vanteru had turned top pair top kicker with A♦K♥ and had Devany's QxQx in rough shape.
The 3♦ river secured the double up for Vanteru. 13 players remain.
Vanteru: 486,000 (+253,000)
Devaney: -233,000
