Valen Folds Kings to Full House
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Carlos Martin Garcia open raised, Eugenio Bastos called on the button, then Ferran Esteller Valen reraised to 3,300 from the small blind. Garcia folded and Bastos called.
The flop came 2♦Q♥Q♠ and both players checked. Chips went in the middle on the A♦ turn.
The river came the A♥. Valen checked and Bastos pushed a stack of reds into the middle worth 25,000, which send Valen into the tank.
"I don't understand," said Valen
"Play and you'll understand," laughed Bastos as the pair went into a verbal back and forth in Spanish. Valen eventually found the fold and showed pocket kings. Bastos flipped over the 5♣, then showed courtesy by showing an ace for aces full.
