$150 NLH $50,000 GTD (Flight 1G): Valeria Ligeiro Flips Well, Doubles to Above Average Stack

$150 No Limit Hold'em
$50,000 GTD
Level 11 (Blinds 800/1,600/1,600)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 119
Flight 1G Players Remaining: 35

Valeria Ligeiro already fired once in this event, but she's looking much better this time around, having doubled up moments ago.

At Table 2, pre-flop action would see two players limp for 1,200 (this was one of the final Level 10 hands), and the small blind complete his bet.  Action would then be on Valeria Ligeiro, who would three-bet shove out of the big (for 33,600).  It looked like a classic spot for a squeeze play, and her opponent (who limped under the gun) seemed to feel the same way.  He cut out the chips for a call, gave it about one minute of thought, and placed the chips across his cards.  The two other players in the hand released, and the cards were tabled:

Ligeiro: 8 8♣
A. Nonymous: A♣ Q

Runout: 10 6 2♣ K♠ 4♠

Things got a little sweaty on turn for Valeria, as her opponent gained extra outs, but she was able to fade and double.  She is know above average, sitting with a stack of 75,000.
