Valverde Spikes the River to Knock Out La Scala

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Francesco La Scala opened to 60,000 from early position and Fernando Valverde three-bet shoved for 600,000 from the big blind. La Scala, who only had about 220,000 behind, went into the tank with a pay jump looming. Eventually Valverde called the clock and La Scala waited until just three seconds were remaining before sticking in the rest of his stack to put himself at risk.

Francesco La Scala: QJ All in
Fernando Valverde: 98

Both players connected with the J86 flop, but La Scala was ahead with top pair and remained ahead on the 5 turn. Valverde improved to trips on the 8 turn to send La Scala to the rail and take the pot.
