Pommier Runs Into Valverde's Big Slick
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Christophe Pommier raised from early position to 100,000 and Fernando Valverde three-bet to 325,000 from the cutoff. When it folded back to Pommier, he four-bet-shoved for Valverde's remaining 1,300,000. Valverde called and the cards were revealed.
Fernando Valverde: A♣K♥ 
Christophe Pommier: A♠Q♥
Valverde had Pommier dominated and needed to fade a queen to become one of the biggest stacks in the room. The runout of 3♦5♣2♠K♦10♥ was perfect for Valverde as he paired his king and doubled up.
