With the board showing As7h2hAh on the turn, John Valevich checks the small blind, the player in the hijack bets 12,000, and Valevich check-raises to 36,000. The hijack thinks for a while before he calls.

The river card was the 6d, and Valevich quickly moves all in for well over 100K. The player in the hijack thinks for a bit before he folds, and Valevich takes the pot to build his stack up to about 240K.

John Valevich  –  240,000  (120 bb)
