Keplin, Valenzuela Head to the Races
Level 21
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Steve Keplin raised to 125,000 in early position and Leonardo Valenzuela three-bet to 375,000 on the button. Keplin then moved all in for 600,000, and Valenzuela snap-called.
Steve Keplin: 8♠8♦
Leonardo Valenzuela: A♣K♣
The 7♦7♣5♣ flop gave Valenzuela a flush draw to go with his overcards, while the K♣ turn not only gave him two pair but improved him to the flush. The river was the J♣ and Keplin was sent to the rail.
