Yellick Picks Off Valenzuela on the River
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Heads-up on a board of 9♠2♥J♣7♣, Evan Yellick bet 30,000 from the big blind and Leonardo Valenzuela called in the hijack.
Yellick checked the 7♣ river, and Valenzuela bet 120,000. Yellick called with K♣J♦ for two pair, and Valenzuela mucked Q♥9♥.
At another table, Ryan Cruse was all in for his last 90,000 from under the gun and up against Rick Hass in early position, but both players showed ace-king and chopped the pot.
