Valerstein Waaaaaaay Out In Front
It's as if every time we keep our eyes off of Roman Valerstein, he's added a significant amount to his stack.
He recently busted Reed Zhao and was kind enough to relay some of the details for us. After Zhao opened the pot with a min-raise to 16,000, Valerstein three-bet to 45,000 with 
. Action folded back to Zhao who clicked it back to about 80,000.
Valerstein called to see the flop come down 
and Zhao fired 75,000. Valerstein came back with a raise to 175,000, only to see Zhao shove for what appeared to be upwards of 500,000. Valerstein called with his top pair + flush draw and Zhao's bluff with 
was in dire straits. He failed to recover, sending his stack over to Valerstein.
