Felipe Valdez opened for 15,000 from the cutoff and Joel Klipping three-bet jammed for 88,500 on the button. The blinds folded and action was back on Valdez who called after a few minutes in the tank.

Joel Klipping:

Klipping needed some help and the turn came paint but it was another lady giving Valdez trips and leaving Klipping drawing dead.
