D'Alessandro Hits a Sweeper

Tim D'Alessandro just took a big pot off of Joshua Feldman and Jonas Klausen. By the time D'Alessandro was all in, he held an unbeatable eight-high straight and a 7-6 low. He improved to a six low on the river against his lone remaining opponent, Jonas Klausen, who showed 8-4 for low. D'Alessandro scooped the whole pot and doubled up.

Jonas Klausen completes with {6-Diamonds} and Ryan Hughes raises with {7-Diamonds}. Klausen calls again.

On fourth, Hughes checks {K-Diamonds}. Klausen bets {2-Diamonds} and Hughes calls.

On fifth, Hughes checks {10-Spades} and Klausen checks {10-Hearts}.

On sixth, Hughes checks {4-Hearts} and Klausen bets {4-Spades}. Hughes calls.

On seventh, Hughes checks. Klausen bets and Hughes calls.

Klausen: {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Hughes: {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} (muck)

Klausen gets the wheel and scoops. He's up to 455,000.

David Sklansky Eliminated in 8th Place ($19,306)

David Sklansky - 8th Place
David Sklansky - 8th Place
David Sklansky found himself continually bricking and folding on fourth or fifth street. He was finally down to 10,000 -- which was 8,000 after the ante. When Tim D'Alessandro completed to 8,000 with the {4-Spades}, Sklansky called all in with the {8-Diamonds}. Then Ryan Hughes put a wrench in the works by reraising the {7-Clubs}. D'Alessandro called.

Fourth street:
D'Alessandro: x-x / {4-Spades} {2-Hearts}
Sklansky: x-x / {8-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Hughes: x-x / {7-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

Both players checked.

Fifth street:
D'Alessandro: x-x / {4-Spades} {2-Hearts} {A-Spades}
Sklansky: x-x / {8-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades}
Hughes: x-x / {7-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}

D'Alessandro bet, and Hughes called.

Sixth street:
D'Alessandro: x-x / {4-Spades} {2-Hearts} {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}
Sklansky: x-x / {8-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {7-Hearts}
Hughes: x-x / {7-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}

Again D'Alessandro bet, and Hughes called. Both players checked the river. D'Alessandro turned over {A-?}{6-?}{9-?} in the hole for three aces. Hughes quickly called a low with {2-Clubs} {4-?} {3-Diamonds} for a 7-5 low. Sklansky opened {9-?} {7-?} {3-?} for no low and a pair of sevens.

"I wish I had gotten something to play with," said Sklansky as he exited first from the final table of an event for the second time in a week. He walks away with $19,306 in prize money.

Isaia Seizes Chip Lead

Alessia Isaia brings it in with the {2-Diamonds} and Ryan Hughes completes with the {2-Clubs}.

Isaia bets all the way down and Hughes calls:

Isaia {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Hughes: {2-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts} (muck)

Isaia has a flush and the A-2-3-4-6 low and scoops. He's up to 350,000 while Hughes, the former chip leader, is down to 250,000.

Ace on the River

Thomas Hunt III came into the final table as the smallest stack. He got it all in the middle against Alessio Isaia on third street. By the river, all Hunt had come up with was a pair of deuces. Isaia squeezed his river card first and announced, "Kings and jacks." Hunt squeezed for his tournament life and came up with the prettiest card in the deck -- the ace of spades -- to make two pair, aces and deuces. He now has about 60,000 in chips.
