Zhao Busts Vallinas

Richard Hayes

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.
