Crobu and Vallinas Send Kyte to the Rail
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Jon Vallinas and Jon Kyte checked a flop of A♥9♣Q♠ to Andrea Crobu in the cutoff. Crobu bet 3,000 which Vallinas called before Kyte check-shoved for 23,000. After a few moments, Crobu moved all in over the top and Vallinas snap-called with the covering stack.
Jon Kyte: J♦10♥ 
Andrea Crobu: A♦9♦
Jon Vallinas :A♠9♠
Crobu and Vallinas had the same hand with top and bottom pair, while Kyte just had a straight draw. The 7♠ on the turn gave Vallinas a flush draw, but he couldn't find it on the 5♥ river. Kyte was eliminated as Crobu and Vallinas chopped up his stack.
