Valden Building Large Stack

Rob Valden
Rob Valden

Level 11 (1,500/3,000/3,000)

Rob Valden has been on fire for the past few levels and added another bounty to his clutches after he flopped a flush with the {a-Spades}{10-Spades} to overcome the pocket queens of Kenneth Po.

The turn and river did not help Po and Valden added even more chips to his surging stack

Batinga Busted

Ed Batinga
Ed Batinga

Level 10 (1,000/2,000/2,000)

Ed Batinga and Andy Johnson were involved in a big all-in with the chip stacks very close.

Johnson had the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} against the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} of Batinga.

The flop basically sewed it up for Batinga as it came down {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts}, the turn was the {8-Diamonds} and the river came the {7-Hearts} to knock Batinga down to only 5,000.

His $300 VIP bounty was collected a couple of hands later by Stephen Hart.
