Boat for Vales

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

With roughly 20,000 in the middle on a {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop, James Vales was in the big blind and check-raised a 12,000 bet by an early position player up to 32,000. His opponent jammed and Vales called for his stack of 94,000.

James Vales: {k-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Vales was ahead with two pair as the {2-Spades} turn left him just needing to fade a couple of outs, and the {8-Hearts} completed the board to improve him to a boat and confirm his double.
