Matthew Valeo Eliminated in 10th Place ($12,547)
Limits: 50,000-100,000
Matthew Valeo raised on the button, and Scott Bohlman called in the big blind. Bohlman check-raised Valeo's bet on the 3♣Q♣7♥ flop, after which Valeo put in a three-bet. Bohlman called to the A♥ turn, where he check-called another bet.
The 4♠ river was checked down. Bohlman showed 8♠8♥ at showdown, and Valeo sighed as he mucked his cards.
A few hands later, Robert Klein raised on the button. Andrew Bradshaw called in the small blind, as did Valeo in the big blind. Valeo led out on the K♠9♥7♥ flop, seeing both opponents call.
On the Q♥ turn, he put in his final 45,000. Again, both Klein and Bradshaw called before they checked down the Q♠ river.
Bradshaw tabled 10♥9♣ for queens and nines, Klein showed J♥J♣ for queens and jacks, and Valeo tossed his cards into the muck as he stood up and said his goodbyes.
