Vazquez Gets Value on River
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Joel Vazquez opened from early position to 12,000, and his only customer was Luke Richard in the big blind.
The two saw a flop of A♣K♦4♠. Richard checked, and Vazquez bet 8,000. Richard called.
On the 9♦ turn, Richard check-called again, this time for 35,000.
The river brought the 8♣, and Richard checked for a third time. This time, Vazquez moved all of his chips into the middle. Richard asked for a count, which ended up being 112,000. Richard called, and Vazquez tabled A♠J♦. Richard went to muck, but the hand had to be exposed since it called an all-in bet. Richard turned over the K♥3♥.
