Acey Start For Valkenburg

Unibet Ambassador Paul Valkenburg enjoyed his share of welcome drinks last night and decided to get an extra hour of sleep before play started. Valkenburg, who won Unibet Open London back in 2010 for £109,550, started a little later but that had no negative effect on his stack whatsoever.

The first two hands Valkenburg played were both pocket aces and he managed to win small pots. The Dutchman is up to around 22,000 and that’s quite the start for an event as big as this one.
