Valenzuela Stays Alive
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 0 ante
Leo Valenzuela opened with a raise in the cutoff and Aaron Stops defended in the big blind.
On the flop of 9♠10♣7♠, Stops led out with a bet of 8,000 and Valenzuela moved all in to put himself at risk. Stops made the call.
Leo Valenzuela: Q♥J♥ 
Aaron Stops: 9♣6♣
It was a fair fight but Valenzuela pulled ahead on the Q♠ turn, pairing his queen. The 10♦ river offered no help to Stops and the pot was pushed Valenzuela's way.
