Miracle Turn for Hunter Sends Out Valdez
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Level 14: Blinds 3,000/6,000/6,000
On a heads-up flop of J♥8♠3♣, Joshua Valdez checked to Jeffrey Hunter, who moved all in, covering Valdez.
Valdez paused for a few moments but made the call to put his tournament life at risk.
Joshua Valdez: Q♣Q♠
Jeffrey Hunter: 10♠10♣
Hunter, along with the rest of the table, was quite surprised by the strength of CValdez's holding, but the deck was on Hunter's side as the turn immediately fell the 10♦ to give him the lead with a set of tens. The river was the blank 4♠ and the pot was shipped over to Hunter while Valdez shook his head and silently made his way to the exit.
"Wow, very lucky," Hunter said aloud, seemingly shocked himself at what just transpired.
