Velador Gets River Value From Yass
Level 24
: Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante
Luis Velador raised in the cutoff and Robert Yass announced a reraise on the button. While Velador was fumbling to put in the correct amount, Ben Lamb pointed out that Yass' raising chips were incorrect, too, as he had only put in 160,000 but verbally declared the three-bet.
"You still wanna raise?" Velador asked with a big grin on the face moments before both players put in the required 240,000. They checked all the way to the K♠7♠7♦K♦4♠ river on which Velador bet and Yass reluctantly paid it off. Velador tabled the A♠6♠6♥3♠ for the ace-high flush and that won the pot.
