Final Table Analysis: Hands #21-30

There were two eliminations over the last ten hands. At one point in the tournament, Antonio Casale was the chipleader, which created a huge buzz in the poker room. Sadly, the local favorite was eliminated on Hand #24 when he ran into Alexander Kostritsyn's pocket Aces.

On Hand #27, Alexander Kostritsyn added more chips to his stack when he took out Nino Marotta. Kostritsyn is closing in on Michael Chrisanthopoulos for the chiplead.

Hand #32 - Peter Ling

Peter Ling has the button in Seat 7. He raises to 100,000, Alexander Kostritsyn re-raises to 250,000, Ling moves all in for over 1,1 million, Kostritsyn folds, and Ling wins the pot.
