Vallinas Takes His Time With Top Pair
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
David Kaufmann raised to 60,000 from late position and Jon Vallinas three-bet to 180,000 from the small blind, which Kaufmann called.
The action slowed down on the flop of 2♦A♠6♠, both in terms of bet sizing and time taken to play. Vallinas eventually made a continuation bet for the minimum of 30,000, which Kaufmann called.
The turn came the 8♥ and Vallinas took his time before placing 60,000 in the middle. Kaufmann called again and the river came the 5♣. Both players checked to showdown. Vallinas showed A♦K♦ for a pair of aces to win the pot.
