Event 1: 27th - 20th Places

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NL (2 Re-entry)    

Konstanti Ehlert busted in 27th place ($3,213).

Shawn James doubled through Dimitrios Bergos.

Gino Genari

Gino Genari got all in holding AJ, but ran into Steven Macchia pocket Aces.  Aces held and Gino was busted in 26th place ($3,213).

 Vitaly Kovyazin

On the next hand, Vitaly Kovyazin (Brooklyn, N) got all-in against Steven.  Vitaly's QJ had Steven's J9 dominated, but a 9 on the flop was all Steven needed to bust another player.  Vitaly finished 25th ($3,213).  Steven is now up to ~6.1 million.

Eric Hall busted Joshua Supsak in 24th place ($3,213).

Patrick Whitmore

Patrick Whitmore moved his short-stack in utg, Eric Hall called from the button, Ed McCarthy called from the small blind, then Dimitrios Bergos moved in over the top from the big blind, folding the other two players.  Dimitrios held pocket Queens and was crushing Patrick's pocket 3s.  The board came A Q 9 4 7 and Dimitrios took the pot.  Patrick took 23rd place and $3,213.

Marcello Delmonaco (left) moved all-in, then Michael Shasho moved all-in from the button.  Joshua Lawson had both covered and called from the big blind.  Marcello's A7 off was way behind.  Michael was racing with AK off.  Joshua held pocket Queens and the lead.  



The board came 7 6 4 Q 3 and Joshua took the pot.  Michael (right) had fewer chips to start the hand, so he finished 22nd.  Marcello took 21st place.  Both earned $3,213.

Dimitrios Bergos doubled through Shawn James.

Brian Mooney busted Aaron Smith.  Aaron finished 20th for $3,213.
