Valdez Hits Miracle River to Score Double-Up
Nível 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The action folded to Fausto Valdez in the small blind, who opened for 32,000, leaving 23,000 behind. Allen Shen made the call in the big blind and the flop fanned out 9♠6♠4♠.
Valdez tanked for a while until the clock was called and then led out for 15,000. Shen moved all in and Valdez again went deep in the tank. After a second clock was called, Valdez eventually tossed in his last 8,000 and the cards were shown.
Fausto Valdez: K♠K♦
Allen Shen: J♠8♠
Shen flopped a flush and had the cowboys of Valdez in rough shape, but when the board ran out 10♣3♠, it was the river that saved the day for Valdez to make a bigger flush and score the double-up close to the money bubble.
