Vallinas Keeps Climbing
Level 5
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jon Vallinas opened 18,000 under the gun and he received calls from Keiji Kimura on his left and Trevor McMichael from the big blind.
All three players checked to the A♠8♦7♣9♦ turn, where McMichael led for 30,000. Vallinas put in a raise to 135,000 and that was enough to earn the pot as both Kimura and McMichael pitched their cards into the muck.
