Ylitalo's Top Pair is Good
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Robin Ylitalo opened 30,000 in the cutoff and Maksim Vaskresenski called on the button, as did Pedro Lopes from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♥Q♣5♦, and Lopes checked before Ylitalo continued for 30,000. Vaskresenski called, but Lopes got out of the way.
The 9♣ turn and 7♣ river were checked down by both players and Ylitalo rolled his A♦6♦ face up, flopping top pair. Vaskresenski mucked his hand and the dealer pushed the pot to Ylitalo.
