Turn Saves Van Valkenburg
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Roger Van Valkenburg raised from early position before Rian Mullins went all-in from middle position. Van Valkenburg called to be at risk.
Roger Van Valkenburg: Q♦Q♥
Rian Mullins: K♣K♠
Van Valkenburg found himself in the unenviable position of having the smaller pair as they went to a showdown.
The 4♦A♥8♠ flop didn't change anything, but lightnight struck on the turn when the Q♣ hit to improve Van Valkenburg to a set. The A♠ upgraded his hand to a full house as he cracked the pocket kings of Mullins.
