Zhao Busts Vallinas
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jon Vallinas opened to 5,500 from early position, and was faced with a three-bet to 15,500 by Jiaming Zhao in the big blind, with Vallinas making the call after some thought.
On the A?K?7? flop, Zhao check-called versus a bet of 10,000 from Vallinas. The 3? turn was checked through.
The J? river completed the runout, and Zhao led out with a bet sufficient to cover Vallinas remaining 45,000 stack.
Vallinas made the quick call with A?Q? for a pair of aces, but was shown the bad news when Zhao tabled K?K? for the flopped set of kings.
