Valeo Loses It All In Two Hands
Level 14
Big O
Ari Engel limped in and Ray Henson raised to 18,000. Matthew Valeo in the big blind raised the pot and Engel tanked for more than three minutes, then folded. Henson stuck his short stack of 56,000 in and the cards were flipped over.
Ray Henson: A♥Q♠10♦8♥4♣
Matthew Valeo: A♦8♠8♣7♣3♠
The board ran out Q♦10♥6♣3♣10♠ and Henson doubled with tens full of queens.
Soon after, Ben Yu raised from the cutoff and called the shove by Valeo for just 16,000 in the small blind.
Matthew Valeo: 9♠6♠6♥4♥3♣
Ben Yu: A♥J♣6♣5♦2♥
The board ran out 10♦3♦2♣K♣5♣ and Yu hit a flush as well as the superior low to knock out Valeo.
