Valerio Valera started today in the top ten of chips counts but his stack has been sliding most of the day. That has now changed with a double-up to 70,000. There an early position raise before Valera moved all-in for 33,000 from mid-position. Joseph Leblanc then moved all-in to for 38,500 from the BB. The original raiser folded to leave it heads-up and at showdown:
Valera: 
Leblanc: 
The board ran 
. Valera hit a queen and that was good for the pot. Leblanc left with a bowl of rice now.
