Lococo Can Breathe
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Action folded to Alejandro Lococo on the button, and he raised to 10,000. After the small blind folded, Justin Vaysman three-bet to 32,000, which Lococo called.
After the 8♥2♦3♠ flop, Lococo called a bet of 22,000 from Vaysman.
Both players checked after the 7♣ on the turn, which brought the 5♣ on the river. Vaysman bet out 5,000, and Lococo raised to 90,000, leaving just 2,000 behind. Vaysman sat in the tank, using three time banks, before finding a fold.
Once Vaysman mucked, Lococo took a big sigh of relief, stood up and said "What is wrong with me, I couldn't breathe" as he showed the bluff and tabled Q♣J♦ for just queen high.
