Mauro Sassano Crippled, Eliminated

Mauro Sassano was crippled by Riku Koivurinne and wasn't able to recover being eliminated two hands later.

In the key hand Sassano got his {A-Spades}{k-Diamonds} all in against Koivurinne's {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. The {9-Hearts} hit the {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop severely limiting Sassano's chances of catching up.

The {4-Hearts} and {3-Diamonds} completed the board. Sassano was eliminated two hands later, after doubling up once and taking a sick suck-out to face the walk to the rail.
