Valenzuela Gets There on the River
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The hand after Justin Fowler beat Bill Schwarzkopf with a river shove, he again went heads-up in in a blind-versus-blind battle, this time against Leonardo Valenzuela.
Fowler led out for 12,000 on the 2♣4♥2♠ flop and Valenzuela called. Both players then checked the 9♣ turn.
Fowler bet another 15,000 on the 3♠ river, and Valenzuela raised to 45,000. Fowler took a minute before calling, and Valenzuela showed A♦5♦ for a rivered straight. Fowler flashed 9♦3♦ before mucking.
