Mencia Gets the Better Hand to Fold
Level 26
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Gonzalo Mencia opened to 300,000 from the cutoff with 7♠6♠ and Josep Valls defended from the big blind with Q♥10♠.
The flop came K♦Q♦3♠ and Valls check-called a 375,000 continuation bet from Mencia.
Valls checked again on the 2♠ turn and Mencia fired a second barrel for 575,000 which was enough to force a fold from his opponent.
