First Blood For Valerstein

In one of the early hands of heads up, Antonio Intravaia bet the 9hKdQh turn for 400,000 into a pot of 1.8 million and Roman Valerstein raised to 1.5 million with Qd9d for two pair. Intravaia called with Qc and dropped down to 8.1 million versus 13 million.

The Italian grabbed the next hand to claw back 1 million.

Prior to the battle one-versus-one, both players made a deal to receive €30,000 each and play for the remaining €5,000. Furthermore, they are also still in the “Poker mit Herz” last longer competition as well for the €800 Main Event ticket.
