Event 8: "Absurd" End for Valerstein

$350 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Roman Valerstein (Newtown,PA) was 4th in chips to start the day, but is first on the rail in 24th place.

First his pocket 10s are cracked by Rob Brown (Milford, PA) who spikes an ace on the river while holding A 8.

After shipping 270k in the double-up, Valerstein, who's stack is cut in half, calls Mike Shasho's preflop raise and flop bet on a board of J J 2.  When an 8 hits the turn all the chips are in and Valertstein is in big trouble with pocket kings against Shasho's pocket 8s for a full house.

Valerstein misses his two-outer on the river and is out in 24th place for $881.

Here's Valerstein's latest tweet.


Absurd. Gg. Tt<a9 aipf vs then flat kk, flat jj2 flop get it in vs 88 on 8 turn
