Stefanski Gets Value with Top Pair
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
David Stefanski was in the hijack and went heads-up to a flop of A♥4♦3♣ against Michael Lavin in the big blind.
Action went check-check, bringing the 8♥ turn, where Lavin check-called a bet of 45,000 from Stefanksi.
On the K♣ river, Lavin checked again and Stefanski sized up with a bet of 146,000. After a brief moment of thought, Lavin flicked in the call only to see the bad news when Stefanski tabled A♦Q♠ for top pair.
