Thirty Is the Magic Number
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Marius Kudzmanas open-raised to 12,000 from early position and got three-bet by Jimmy Andres Torres Velasquez in middle position. 30,000 was the amount to call, and Kudzmanas put in the necessary chips to do so.
The flop fell A?A?J? and both players checked. On the 3? turn Velasquez bet another 30,000 after a check from Kudzmanas. The 6? river was dealt and now Kudzmanas took the betting lead by adding another 30,000 to the pot.
This sent Velasquez into a tank of several minutes, but eventually he came up with a call. He got shown A?Q? and mucked his cards, surrendering the pot to Kudzmanas who's stack got elevated to over ten times starting.
