Valeo Hits an Ace to Bust Battistone

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Brian Battistone limped in from the hijack before Matthew Valeo raised to 12,000 in the cutoff. Battistone called, and they saw a flop of A♠6♠4♦.

Battistone then moved all in for his last 20,000, and Valeo called.

Brian Battistone: K♣K♠10♦9♥2♠ All in
Matthew Valeo: A♥10♣5♦4♥2♦

Valeo had flopped two pair to take the lead over Battistone's kings, and the rest of the board ran out Q♦8♣ to earn him the pot and send Battistone to the rail.
