Event 11: 2 From the Money

$300 + $50 PLO (high)

Rinaldi Ready for the Money

20 players remain and the short stacks are hanging by a thread as the top 18 cash for a minimum of $441 (1st place - $8,817).

Steve Rinaldi (Old Forge, PA) is all-in with a set of queens and doubles to 44k. Rinaldi is a 26 year old, who's held various jobs and recently quit bartending to pursue poker full time.

His opponent seems disinterested and loses his last 12k shortly after the hand and is eliminated in 18th place.
