Criado Squeezes Some Value From Pak
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Edward Pak raised to 120,000 from early position, with Jose Criado calling from the hijack and John Juanda defending from the big blind.
All three were happy to check the 5♣8♦Q♥ flop, and the J♠ came on the turn. Juanda checked, Pak bet 180,000, and only Criado called, as Juanda folded 9♠8♥.
Pak checked the A♦ river and Criado bet the minimum of 60,000. Pak was curious enough to call with K♣J♥ for a pair of jacks, but he was second best against Criado's Q♦J♣ for two pair.
