Morvan Out as River Counterfeits and Valden Out-Kicks
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Romain Morvan open-jammed for 510,000 under the gun, and David Valden in late position called. After action folded around, they went to showdown.
Romain Morvan: A♥2♥
David Valden: A♦K♦
Morvan was looking at a potential double-up when the flop dropped 5♠5♦2♠, giving him a two-pair. He kept the lead on the 4♠ turn. Morvan got eliminated, however, when the A♣ fell on the river, giving Valden the same two pair, aces and fives, but with the higher king kicker.
