Emilio Porcalla

Facing a middle-position raise of 14,000 from Bill Bostick, Emilio Porcalla decided it was time to shove and did so for his remaining 35,000 total. With little more than an afterthought, Bostick called and was all too happy to show his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

. Porcalla brought {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

to the face-off. The flop was not the heart-rich flop Porcalla was hoping for as it came {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{2-Spades}

, and the all-but-out-of-here Porcalla watched the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

close out his day. The river was a irrelevant {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

.

Porcalla battled most of the day with a below-average chip stack; his sharp play helped him to survive and claim 14th place. Bostick was up to 98,000 after the hand.
