Vallinas Spikes River to Double
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action folded to Iurii Saiapin on the button, who opened to 2,400. Jon Vallinas three-bet jammed from the small blind for 17,800, and after some thought, Saiapin made the call.
Jon Vallinas: A♦8♣
Iurii Saiapin: 3♥3♠
Vallinas was behind in a race, and looked to be heading for the exit after the Q♠6♠5♠ flop and J♦ turn. However, the A♣ rolled off on the river to give Vallinas the double-up, much to Saiapin's disgust.
