"All in and a call Table 32," the dealer announced. We made our way over to discover PokerStars Team Online's Randy Lew at risk against Luisa Helps.
Lew: 
Helps: 
The look on Lew's face seemed to be one of resignation. Indeed, it was a bad spot Lew, who would need either a nine or some miracle cards to stay alive. The

Laurence Hall was just eliminated short of the money.
He got his chips in good with the against the
