Valls Knocks Out Ardic
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Josep Valls opened to 1,100 from under the gun and was called by Laurence Stein from the next seat over and Senol Ardic on the button.
The flop came A♠K♠8♥. Valls bet 1,600 and Stein called before Ardic announced that he was all in, pushing forward his remaining stack of roughly 25,000. Valls, who had started the hand with around 45,000, made the call to put Ardic at risk while Stein got out of the way.
Senol Ardic: 5♠4♠ 
Josep Valls: K♦8♦
Valls was in great shape with two pair against Ardic's flush draw. He remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out 4♦7♥ and dragged in a massive pot while Ardic made his exit from the tournament area.
