With 60,000 in the middle on a flop of A♣J♦5♥ in a button versus big blind spot between Paul Romain and Alejandro Valdes, Valdes checked to Romain, who slid out a bet of 36,000.
Valdes responded with a check-raise to 150,000, and after a good spell in the tank, Romain folded.
Valdes showed A♠8♥ and then seemed to launch into an explanation of why he had raised.
Alejandro Valdes – 290,000
Paul Romain – 250,000
