Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ignacio Puebla Alija opened the action to 40,000 from middle position and Julien Stropoli put in a three-bet to 120,000 from the hijack. The rest of the table got out of the way and Alija made the call.
The flop fanned out K♣10♠2♦ and Alija check-called a bet of 90,000 from Stropoli. On the 8♣ turn play slowed down with a check from both players. The 6♦ peeled off on the river and again action went check-check.
Alija rolled over A♦10♦ for a pair of tens and scooped the pot when Stropoli mucked his cards.
