button in SafariValls Fires Away to Bust One; Falcon Clipped by Dos Santos
Ibrain Rueda limped in from the cutoff before the button raised to 2,000. Josep Valls then three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind, and both opponents called.
The flop came A♥9♥K♦ and Valls bet 6,300. Only the button called to see the 6♠ turn, where Valls bet another 18,500. The button again called.
The river was the 3♠ and Valls moved all in. His opponent tanked for a minute before calling for his last 23,000 with A♠Q♦, but Valls had A♦K♣ for two pair to win the pot and earn the knockout.
At another table, Michael Falcon moved all in for 25,000 from the hijack on a board of 7♦5♣9♦7♣, and Claudio Dos Santos called under the gun.
Falcon showed K♦J♦ for a flush draw, but he was already drawing dead as Dos Santos turned over 9♥9♣ for a full house. The river was the 6♦ and Falcon was sent to the rail.
