Valerstein Chipping Up
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Akash Malik moved all in from middle position for 184,000 and action folded around to Roman Valerstein in the small blind. After a bit of thought, he three-bet, the big blind folded, and he and Malik tabled their hands.
Valerstein: 
Malik: 
Valerstein had a massive lead with his kings and he extended it on the 
flop when he hit top set. Neither the 
turn nor 
river was any help to Malik and Valerstein took the pot to send him to the cage.
