Valdivieso Gets Early Respect
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 0 ante
Just after he took down a pot on the river with a 3,500 bet, Pedro Valdivieso raised to 700 in the small blind. The big blind called and the flop was 6♣10♣10♠. Valdivieso tossed out 1,000 and his opponent called to see A♦ on the turn.
Both players checked the turn and the 2♣ flop before Valdivieso turned over J♠J♦ to take the pot with jacks and tens.
