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.
