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 A64.

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

Brian Battistone: KK1092 All in
Matthew Valeo: A10542

Valeo had flopped two pair to take the lead over Battistone's kings, and the rest of the board ran out Q8 to earn him the pot and send Battistone to the rail.
