Wooyang Lin
Wooyang Lin

Wooyang Lin flopped two pair with {Q-}{10-} on a {K-}{Q-}{10-} board and found some action in the form of Addison Alston who had {Q-}{J-} for middle pair with an open ended straight draw. The {A-} on the turn gave Alston a straight and Lin was unable to improve to a full house on the river to finish in 14th place.

Four Way All In Sends Three Home (full)

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
John Manzella
John Manzella

It started off with John Manzella raising and a short stacked Dennis Dekenipp calling for less all in. Robert Toft moved all in from the button and Dennis Farrell also went all in from the big blind. John Manzella decided he too was going to go all in and the cards were turned over:

John Manzella {4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}
Dennis Dekenipp {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Robert Toft {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Dennis Farrell {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}

The board would give Toft the hand easily as it came {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Dekenipp would finish in 13th place, Farrell in 12th place while Manzella was left with 4,000 in chips and would be eliminated on the very next hand in 11th place.

Delledonne Wins Race To Stay Alive

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Dean Delledonne raised to 52,000 and was called by Bruce Benedict from the button. Addison Alston made it 245,000 to go and Delledonne put his last 105,000 in the middle. Benedict didn't waste much time in folding and later claimed that he folded Queens. Delledonne had {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and was flipping against Alston who had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. "That's what I wanted," said Delledonne when he saw Alston's cards.

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and an excited Delledonne clapped his hands and yelled "Yes!" while thrusting his arms up in the air. "Yes!" he said again, almost shaking, as he started to stack his chips. Alston is still in good shape with 400,00 in chips while Delledonne moved to 375,000 after he dragged the pot.

Lou Manges Wins Race to Double Up

Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Chris Edwards opened to 55,000 and Lou Manges moved all in for a total of 169,000. It was folded back to Edwards who made the call with {8-}{8-}. Manges held {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and would receive the help he needed right away when the flop cane {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}.

The {2-Hearts} on the turn and the {Q-Spades} on the river changed nothing and Manges scores a much needed double up while Edwards is crippled.

A short stacked Chris Edwards put the last of his chips in after Dean DelleDonne raised to 75,000 and Addison Alston raised to 160,000. DelleDonne called and when the flop came {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, Alston moved all in and DelleDonne folded.

Alston had {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Edwards was in trouble with {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}.

"Queen or Eight," he begged - but it was not to be and he was eliminated in 9th place.
