River Bails Out Bonanata
Level 7
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Marcelo Bonanata under the gun and Jon Ander Vallinas in the big blind had created a pot of 21,500 when all the chips went in the middle on a board of K?3?J?4?. Bonanata was the at-risk player with a stack of 89,500 as the cards hit the felt.
Marcelo Bonanata: A?K?
Jon Ander Vallinas: J?3?
Bonanata flopped top pair, but it was second best behind the two pair of Vallinas. The K? river upgraded him to trips, however, resulting in his victory and double-up.
