Valerstein Wins Huge Pot Against Walsworth

Roman Valerstein's break was only about two minutes, but he certainly enjoyed stacking his chips after the last hand of Level 19.

It began with PJ Walsworth opening to 14,000 under the gun and he was called by three players, including Valerstein in middle position. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and action checked to Walsworth who bet 26,000. Valerstein popped it to 70,000, forcing folds from the other two players.

Walsworth came along to see the {Q-Hearts} turn and checked. Valerstein bet a cool 100,000 and after about one minute in the tank, Walsworth called. The {K-Spades} river fell it was the same story. Walsworth check-called 150,000 from Valerstein after a bit of time in the tank, but he was not happy to see Valerstein table {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

"Two pair," said Walsworth. "Should have shoved the turn."
