Patience Rewarded
Niveau 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Valeriano Toledano opened to 80,000 in middle position, then was raised by Norbert Szecsi in the cutoff. Like on every decision he had, Toledano took a long moment to call.
On the flop J♣6♠Q♥, Toledano checked, and Szecsi did the same. But on the turn Q♠, Toledano bet 250,000 after a minute of reflection. Szecsi also thought about his decision for a minute but folded.
A few hands later, he was involved in an "all in and call" situation against Douglas Ferreira, who was at risk for 600,000 chips.
Douglas Ferreira: K♠Q♣
Valentino Toledano: Q♥Q♠
Toledano only had to avoid a king to kick Ferreira out. That is what happened on 3♦9♥9♣A♥10♠. Toledano now has almost 2 million chips.
