Bazeley Wins Huge Flip to Double
We just a huge raising war preflop that saw six bets get into the middle for all of the chips. Jacob Bazeley made it 10,000 to go from under the gun, and Roman Valerstein three bet it to 28,500 from the big blind. It got back around to Bazeley, and he gave it some thought before four betting it to 48,000. Undeterred, Valerstein five bet it to 100,500, and when it got back to Bazeley, he six bet shoved for 260,500, and Valerstein made the call, making for a pot of nearly 600,000.
Bazeley: 
Valerstein: 
There was a ton of tension going to the flop, and after all the excitement and build up, it was all but over in a flash when the flop came 
. Valerstein could only catch running hearts for the win or running ten and eight to chop, but the 
was neither of those. The river was the 
, and when the stacks were broken down, Bazeley had doubled to 560,000, while Valerstein was left with just 53,000.
Shortly after, Valerstein busted when his 
ran into the 
of Mickey Petersen when the chips all went in preflop. The board came ten high, and just like that, Valerstein's day was done.
