Valdes Doubles Through Cortijo
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
After action was checked to him on a three-way hand, Pablo Valdes, in cutoff, bet 450,000 on a flop of 3♠Q♣7♣ and a pot of around 800,000.
Lucas Cortijo called from the big blind, and Zhan Guo in late position decided to leave the players to go heads-up going to the turn.
Cortijo checked the 9♥ turn prompting Valdes to shove all-in for around 1,960,000. Cortijo asked for a count then mulled over his situation. He took a few seconds then finally made the call.
Pablo Valdes: A♦Q♦ 
Lucas Cortijo: K♠Q♠
The river 9♦ didn't change Valdes' lead. Valdes scooped the pot for a double up as Cortijo started counting his chips looking at how much he had behind.
