Valdez and Yuan Chop One Up
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Nathan Thrush raised under the gun. Mario Diaz Quilez called in the cutoff, Pablo Valdes called in the small blind, and Xizhe Yuan came along from the big blind.
The 8♦6♠2♣ flop fell. Valdes checked, and Yuan went all in. Action folded to Valdes, who thought for a moment and made the call.
Xizhe Yuan: 10♣8♥ 
Pablo Valdes: 10♠8♠
Valdes had a freeroll, but the K♣ turn and 3♦ river meant the players chopped this one up.
