Jon Ander Vallinas

In a blind versus blind confrontation, the pot stood at approximately 250,000 as the flop read 6K3.

Jon Ander Vallinas bet 50,000 from the small blind. Aziz Efe called in the big blind.

The 4 turned and Vallinas sized up to 300,000. Efe was undeterred.

The 9 fell on the river and Vallinas spent a considerable amount of time in the tank before moving all in, putting Efe to the test for his remaining 985,000. Efe snap-called. Vallinas tabled K3 for two pair, while Efe's scooped this massive double up with 75 for a straight.

Shortly after, Vallinas' seat was seen empty as he had been sent to the rail in quick succession.
