Event 20: Tasty Appetizer

$1000 + $90 No Limit Hold'em (6-Max)

Failla No Need to Fear Ace-King

Will "The Thrill" Failla asks for a count and then makes the call for 35k. Failla is in a classic race with pocket 10s against AK and instructs the dealer not to put anything on the board "higher than a 6."

When the board runs clean Failla is up to 135k. "Nice appetizer before dinner," he says. When someone points out that all low cards could have made him vulnerable to a five high straight, Failla quips, "then I would've thrown up."

Players have received their dinner vouchers and anxious for the one hour dinner break.
