$500 + $60 NLH
Al Riccobono (Ossining, NY) with only 71,500 knew he had to double up early.
Was looking for that double-up hand and sure enough shoved holding 10,10.
Josheph Opie (Fair Haven, NJ) with $96,500 took Al up on his short stack five card show-down.
The board fell 5, 9, 2, 3 and Al desperately didn't want to see an Ace or a King. Of course the King rivered and Al went out in 19th place for $1,414.
"All I could ask for was to get my money in good. Then that last card hit. What can you do?" said Al.
Borgata regular Riccobono will be playing many more tournaments in the WPO so look for more cashes to come.
