Valeo Picks Off River Bluff
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Following an early position raise from Jason Rocha, Matthew Valeo flat called, then Samir Rahal executed a three-bet to 2,700 from the small blind. Both Rocha and Valeo called the raise and action went to the flop.
The cards were dealt Q?2?8? and all three players opted to check it back. The turn was the 10? and Rahal placed out a bet of 3,100. Valeo was the only player to call the bet.
The river came the 8? and Rahal led out again. Valeo weighed up his options before finally making the call. It was a hero call with a small pair, 4?4?. Rahal turned over A?K? for a bluff and Valeo won the pot.
