Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

This hand was picked up on the flop with a board that spread out A810 with approximately 6,000 in the middle.

Jesus Valencia bet 5,500 from early position before David Manikos made it 16,000 from the small blind. Valencia shoved for 48,300 and was quickly called by Manikos to put Valencia at risk.

Jesus Valencia: AJAll in
David Manikos: A10

Valencia was well behind the top two pair of Manikos on the flop as they went to a runout of the final two cards.

The K turn introduced some additional outs for Valencia as he could hit a straight or counterfeit Manikos with another king.

Valencia let out a celebratory shout and clap as the K peeled on the river to counterfeit Manikos and award Valencia the double up.
